Algorithmic Complexity,articular type of dodo) rather than in relation to a set of objects from which the individual object may be selected. To do so, one could define the quantity of information in an object in terms of the number of bits required to describe it. A description of an object is evidently only useful if we can reconstruct the object from this description.

Algorithmic Prefix Complexity, fruitful, for certain goals the mathematical framework is not yet satisfactory. This has resulted in a plethora of proposals of modified measures to get rid of one or the other problem. Let us list a few conspicuous inconveniences.

The Incompressibility Method,that the argument is typically used on a Kolmogorov random object. Since such objects are effectively indistinguishable, the proof holds for all such objects. Each class of objects has an abundance of objects that are Kolmogorov random relative to the class.

This way the stage is set for Chapters 2 and 3, where we introduce the notion of optimal effective descriptions of objects. The length of such a description (or the number of bits of informati

It is natural to call an object “simple” if it has at least one short description, and to call it “complex” if all of its descriptio
