Should be 2^8192 Working on things like the busy beaver problem helps us understand how "fancy" you can make a program of a given size. For 1024 bytes, even with an inefficient instruction encoding, the answer is "pretty fancy". After all, you can fit a LISP into 512 bytes of x86 code-- https://github.com/jart/sectorlisp https://github.com/jart/sectorlisp . About 64 bytes of that is strings! In addition to all those programs-- about anything you can write in any language on a page or so fits compressed. So every short poem, etc, small essay, newspaper column, etc.
