Re: [agi] All Compression is Lossy, More or Less

[John Rose]

Yes, Matt it's obvious that there is a sharp boundary between the explicit a 
priori mathematical definitions of lossy and lossless. Everyone knows that. It 
is less obvious that there is not a sharp boundary among all compressors with 
the data they compress that are classified exclusively as either lossy or 
lossless implemented in physical reality. These compressions have value too for 
various reasons...
