TL;DR
This paper introduces the concept of hodological laws influencing the universe's evolution, using toy models and Kolmogorov complexity to analyze how these laws explain data rather than just describe it.
Contribution
It proposes a new framework linking hodological laws with Kolmogorov complexity to understand universe evolution.
Findings
Hodological laws guide universe evolution along specific paths
Toy models illustrate hodological influence on dynamics
Kolmogorov complexity measures explanatory power of hodological laws
Abstract
A hodological law causes the evolution of the universe to tend to follow particular types of path. I give simple illustrations in toy models and discuss how Kolmogorov complexity characterises the extent to which hodological laws explain, rather than merely describe, data.
