DESCRIPTION:Is it possible to give a non-circular 
 justification for the systematic scientific bias i
 n favor of simpler theories? Combining ideas from 
 belief revision, learning theory and topology, we 
 give a justification for Ockham's razor grounded i
 n truth-finding efficiency. Connections are demons
 trated between monotonicity principles in belief r
 evision, Popperian falsificationism and simplicity
 .  For more information, contact coollogic.uva at
