"Entropic extrema" as in computational resource expense barrier, including chaotic boundaries, too expensive to mine into for the compression agent causing symbol explosion and unpredictable time complexity.. so effectively one-time symbolizing the whole region and working around it until a larger pattern is discovered perhaps on successive passes and the symbol can be fitted into some dynamical component from an emerging model. "Randomness" is merely computational distance from agent perspective. Your example? Infinity. The ultimate symbol explosion. So what do you do? You symbolize it. And you're right it is not a number unless intentionally demarked so in a virtualized boundary. Symbols can be pointers to regions of relatively incomputable data or an expression of operation to generate data. For infinity there are an infinite number of expressions so the expression should be in relation to the agent engine. The more efficient and intelligent the agent the better it is at creating computable expressions verses data pointers of symbol alphabets and languages. And expressions can be re-expressed into simpler form with optimization of the language on successive passes. What do you envision when seeing the symbol "infinity"? The time complexity of various algorithms in your mind... it's open ended... unpredictable... your mind symbolizes symbols. Infinity symbolizes symbol creation, it's an operation not a number or data point until you reach a boundary of thermodynamic expense being a compressor agent in a virtualized escapism pulled back to finite entropic reality. Thermo-entropically bound in a virtual-entropic projection searching for escape velocity... and not finding it... your concept of infinity being transmitted to other compression agents who are similarly entrapped and virtualizing out attempting more efficient combustion and intelligence increase... thus the qualia of infinity is protocolized for systemic intelligence maximalization.
