You don't need a metatheory. There is a huge difference between knowing it and being it. Many of the empty areas get automatically discarded from search space if the heuristics is right!

Pragmatically that is ok if you just want to model the opinions around you so you can play by the rules of your environment, and you don't see reason to suspect that you are stuck in a local optimum. But philosophy and physics and social order are mostly stuck in local optima.

Can the metatheory be probabilistic ? In which case what is the correct pruning procedure ?

You cannot prune in a probabilistic framework, just must assign low probabilities.

Which means that you don't have the metatheory yet and should try to understand your feelings.
