Yes, codecs are part of spatiotemporal transmitters and usually between conscious entities. Storage is transmission through time, imagine a post-glacial petroglyph carved in a rock by an ancient person in a society. The carver is creating a compressed full-duplex transmission to his/herself to be received by other conscious entities as half-duplex, us. We can’t transmit backwards through time to the transmitter (not yet at least) and we decompress similarly to the original compressor. Storage can be single hop, one rock, or multi-hop, multi-rock when other conscious entities copy it and retransmit. I’m still trying to decide if this is true – all compressed data is meant for transmission. ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/Tbdfca102d702de94-Mcc15060981b1c62ea1cf76f3 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
