Abstract
It would be a heavenly reward if there were a method of weighing theories and sentences in such a way that a theory could never prove a heavier sentence (Chaitin's Heuristic Principle). Alas, no satisfactory measure has been found so far, and this dream seemed too good to ever come true. In the first part of this paper, we attempt to revive Chaitin's lost paradise of heuristic principle as much as logic allows. In the second part, which is a joint work with M. Jalilvand and B. Nikzad, we study Chaitin's well-known constant Omega, and show that this number is not a probability of halting the randomly chosen input-free programs under any infinite discrete measure. We suggest some methods for defining the halting probabilities by various measures.
