Beautiful song… I start to see where the … uh … tradition of responding to rejection with physical selfdestruction in that part of the world comes from… As for Clapton, something tells me that wouldnt make a good snowclone :)

    hmm... AK and margin lead me to Vereshchagin and Vitanyi, Kolmogorov’s Structure Functions and Model Selection (ca. 2002) — might this be something you have opinions on, or should I ask Hutter instead? https://arxiv.org/pdf/cs/0204037 https://arxiv.org/pdf/cs/0204037 (the description in the abstract of the structure function sounds suspiciously like a galois connection)

      You may not agree that facts are better than opinions, but here is one: Aaronson-Carroll’s paper on sophistication, downstream of your link, is now 10 years’ in the making.. If you manage to access Hutter, let me know if I already know your public key ;)

        They might have discovered that taykh-optimizing the sisyphean is itself sisyphean..

        taykh? (Q. what do you call a strawberry from Bretagne? A. Une freizh) Right now I'm going down the rabbit hole of expander graphs (aha, these also have a spectral gap?), but soon I shall have some bandwidth for coarse-graining coffee automata. (I doubt you have my public key, but I fear that were you to take the inference closure of our convos and some gumshoe work, you could easily have 33 bits worth of identity) Lagniappe: https://blogs.ethz.ch/kowalski/zazie-au-pot-de-these/ https://blogs.ethz.ch/kowalski/zazie-au-pot-de-these/ (I hope Zazie's ultimate commentary has not given her uncle a complex)

        Taykh = river, as in Yez 47,12/nathaniel silber (shtetl = … ) Tonton = pork (osaka slang) So, an algebraic exercise for me, a geometric one for you, and a quantum for both?

        Geometric, or even philosophical? Do I understand correctly that if we were to attempt to explain Kolmogorov Sophistication to Aristotle, we would say "the sophistication of `x` is the smallest essence over all proper[0] descriptions of x by, first[1] its essence, and then[2] its specific accidents"? Intuitively, this would make sense, because as glass bead game players we are drawn to (beads whose cane was also formed from)* beads. As Körner would say, the height of distinction for a mathematician is to have, not an eponymous theorem, but an eponymous lemma. [0] I don't understand what constitutes a proper description here yet, but am currently assuming it has to do with lying on a subsumption frontier, otherwise the trivial model would always be minimal. [1] I think this has to be noncommutative, for otherwise we'd waste description bits on labelling the accidents? Compare canonical Huffman. (.a Lojban) [2] see also Linnaeus
