Statement

Implementation as a matter of degree, weighting translations by their description length, keeps enough objectivity to separate genuine implementations from trivial ones on moving-object examples.

Source

A question stated here, given computation-implies-triviality: weighting translations by description length is one way to block the triviality arguments for implementation (Hilary Putnam, Representation and Reality, 1988, appendix; David Chalmers, "Does a Rock Implement Every Finite-State Automaton?", Synthese 108, 1996).
