Compression Unity in Variety

Notes

data becomes temporarily interesting by itself to some self-improving, but computationally limited, subjective observer once he learns to predict or compress the data in a better way, thus making it subjectively simpler and more beautiful

Newton’s law of gravity can be formulated as a short piece of code which allows for substantially compressing many observation sequences involving falling apples

science and art can be regarded as by-products of the desire to create / discover more data that is compressible in hitherto unknown ways

compressed version of the data can be viewed as its simplifying explanation

curiosity drive is such a general and generally useful concept for limited-resource RL in rare-reward environments that it should be prewired

Generally speaking, among several sub-patterns classified as comparable by a given observer, the subjectively most beautiful is the one with the simplest (shortest) description

Neither the arbitrary nor the fully predictable is truly novel or surprising—only data with still unknown algorithmic regularities are
