If you want to take it that far, we've had results like this since the 60s (solomonoff induction). But of course if you state it like that, your (rightful) objection is that it's pretty vacuous (if I had the computational omniscience to just brute force all possible turing machines, whatever that even means, then sure, any 'f' gets subsumed into this paradigm). A lot of philosophers, mathematicians, scientists, etc. effectively say, "Yeah, everything's just f(inputs of world) -> outputs!" That 'f' is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Which is kind of the point of mechanistic interperability - to make sure we're not jumping ahead of ourselves, and to make sure we're careful when we claim what "deep" and "structure" means, when it pertains to that 'f'. | ||
