Why? You may be right, but why? How will you make abstraction of
complex programs
generated by the DU and getting close to your actual computational
states?
What about complex programs generating simple programs?
I do believe simple programs play some role, but not because they would
have
an higher measure, just because they will handle genuine relationship
with all
the running of all other programs.
