Algorithmic Information Theory

One of the most awesome achievements of InformationTheory: how to quantify the complexity of a series. Originated by AndreKolmogorov?.

There is an informative description on wikipedia here:

• http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithmic_information_theory

• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_complexity

To repeat said information goes against the fundamental grain of said theory.

GregoryChaitin's works are required reading.
