Theoretical proposal aiming to reframe the discovery of physical laws as an optimal data compression problem. The framework suggests our equations (e.g., F=ma) might not be unique laws, but merely one among many possible, mathematically equivalent "compressions" of experimental data, and proposes using neural networks to discover alternative formulations that could be more efficient or conceptually "alien".
