Luckily, it does not appear that reality is uniformly distributed. Instead, we've found that quite a few phenomena can be modelled using one statistical distribution or another. In other words, reality is quite regular, which makes it unlike high-entropy strings that are difficult to compress. In fact, reality has been repeatedly shown to compress well: images, audio, and language all exhibit statistical regularities that support compression. Throughout nature, fractal structures manifest regular patterns. All of this compresses well.
