Simple programs that create apparent complexity are not full representations of that complexity since they don't contain the physical energy expenditure component in the expression. That's where the consciousness of an observer comes in to play (IMO). What makes Pi so different from the other real numbers close to it? The variety of re-representing mathematical expressions readily available to an observer. Mathematics is a form of compression. Yes the symbols of mathematics can be represented in less bits by decomposing into smaller alphabets but max compression is not as important as efficient compression, efficient in terms of the inter-communicability of the compressed representation with other entities in this physically separated environment that we exist in… ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T8eabd59f2f06cc50-M1b1bbe95e051459a56f378b8 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
