Everything in AGI isn’t always core… but flipping, processing and transmitting bits does have relevance. I just thought of another potential hybrid compressor. Lossy and lossless compression is defined as mathematical mappings with or without inverses and we assume that bits are magickly teleported one place to another while ignoring physical reality. Can we really ignore measurement, is it fully separate? We aren’t ignoring measurement when we define these types of compressions, assumptions are being made. Take for example, a compressor where the numerical lossy or losslessness is indeterminate. Perhaps a “lossless” compressor that exists in a destructible-read reality, quantum observance, where data is destructibly read once AND the compressors digital existence is in the same environment. Can we still say it’s lossless? The original mathematical mapping is gone and the compressor has “dispersed”. In making the lossy and lossless definition we are assuming that bits can be read more than once and the original bits exist to compare them with the decompressed target. As well, we are making assumptions about the environment and observer. Does the definition inherently include measurement? Just wondering... While these examples may sound edgy, often these incompleteness's are where there is much to be learned. Exploring may help some understandings especially, as James pointed out, that “AIXI = AIT⊗SDT = Algorithmic Information Theory ⊗ Sequential Decision Theory". ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/T5ff6237e11d945fb-M681281970c90bf1fb8f5527b Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/subscription
