Abstract
In this note, the traditional problem of induction is analysed from the viewpoint of a physical theory in which time is fundamentally understood as encoded in the instant. From this perspective, the future and the past have a similar conjecture status, and the problem reverts to that of justifying the simplest explanation of the structure observed in the presente instat.
