There were a few points that I, as someone unfamiliar with many of the ideas presented, got hung up on.

First, the paragraph that begins with "At first blush, the requirement to use..." Seems to be a non sequitur. I don't fully understand how the previous section creates a requirement to use deterministic programs, so I could use more explanation on how that requirement is established.

Second, a very simple concrete example of what one of these programs would look like would be immensely helpful. After re-reading the article a bit I have a mental image of a program that contains a long, compressed string and a decompression algorithm that somehow models the system you're interested in. I can imagine how you might get a useful interpretation of probability from the decompression system, but there are enough open questions there that I'm not sure I have the correct interpretation.

Hope that helps!

Looks to be working now!

I love the idea, but the site needs some more work. For example, on an iPhone with chrome I’m unable to actually search for anything (there is no “search” button on the keyboard on the search bar. I can enter text but it just sits there. Possibly incorrect annotations on the widget?).
