It needn't be so difficult. There's a lot of jargon and domain-specific
material in [1] and [2], but the principle is pretty straightforward.

There are two underlying ideas: (1) if a sequence is compressible at all,
it's the consequence of some redundancy in the sequence, but (2) even a
provably-optimal compression scheme must necessarily leave some residual
structure in the output (compressed) sequence.

What's required is knowing where to look for the residual structure. In
general, such residual structure will show up as patterns in the entropy of
the compressed output sequence measured over multiple intervals. In other
words, you slide through the sequence looking at the estimated entropy over
several windows of different sizes. A particular kind of data will exhibit a
characteristic distribution of values over those several windows.
