Your paper is interesting and now that I think about it you may be right about your formulation of entropy, however do you have any resources that are more rigorous? To be clear, I didn't mean to suggest that the universe itself had decreasing Komolgorov complexity, but that the laws that govern the increase in complexity are relatively simple. That is, the laws of thermodynamics concisely phrase the increasing entropy of the universe with a low Komolgorov complexity, suggesting that the mechanics of the universe operate with a low Komolgorov complexity.

For light bedtime reading, there's An Introduction to Kolmogorov Complexity and Its Applications: http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Kolmogorov-Complexity-Applications-Computer/dp/0387948686 http://www.amazon.com/Introduction-Kolmogorov-Complexity-App... That is, the laws of thermodynamics concisely phrase the increasing entropy of the universe with a low Komolgorov complexity, suggesting that the mechanics of the universe operate with a low Komolgorov complexity. I'd agree with that.
- ignifero 15y agoThat's only true at a macroscopic level, though. If one wants to predict exact states of the universe, the complexity is proportional to the entropy of the universe.
