Solomonoff Induction is the Scientific Method formalized into an algorithm.

→

#

Make an observation: observation = binary sequence

→

#

Form a hypothesis that explains the observation: use a Universal Turing Machine to find all possible hypotheses

→

#

Conduct an experiment that will test the hypothesis: through observation of the data you may be able to eliminate hypotheses as not explanatory

→

#

If hypothesis is disconfirmed, return to step 2. Otherwise, provisionally accept hypothesis: instead of accepting an individual hypothesis provisionally, we accept all explanatory hypotheses with their according probabilities.
