The universe doesn't need to begin as a long movie with all frames already made. It just has to let physics roll out on its own. We can test this in a computer simulation. The universe generates the "missing data". The universe starts off lossy, but by the end, it's lossless and has ALL data in a file. Or brain. So while it seems like a lossy file cannot become lossless, it can. Lossy kicks lossless in the butt. And we can simulate this on a future computer. Self-regeneration works as the best compressor (Physics is). Re-use/ recognition/ patterns/ superposition is everywhere in the universe, things pull together and fill in missing data e.g. dead employees. "Understanding"/ "recognizing" allows filling in missing data using other related data.
Lossless compression is ALREADY lossy compression, because after compression, the data is missing, until you decompress it. As for "Lossy compression", it may result in words missing, however a human can add them back, so even Lossy compression results in the data back. See, same result. It auto-regenerates. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T36c83eb0aa31fc55-M25a4ef275f03bf99074adc64 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
