Why bother with a CIC training and test set? Compression evaluates every
bit as a test given the previous bits as training. Even if the compression
algorithm doesn't explicitly predict bits, it is equivalent to one that
does by the chain rule. The probability of a string is equal to the product
of
COIN CON ;)

A slight modification to avoid idioms like "the HIV virus":
COINC = COIN Criterion
COIN = COmpression Information criteriON
Otherwise it would be good memetics if its psychological appeal vs memetic
drift reaches the selective regime in time to achieve fixation against the
psychological appeal of

Maybe we can fund the competition by making a Hollywood-style thriller
about some Bitcoin criminals... lots of potentials here...
