Your response was submitted one minute after another submission by me describing the evolution of embodied data input as a highly "lossy" channel whose "utility function" reduces to physical replication. So, yes, our sensory apparatuses are highly evolved to discard vast quantities of data as

Something else that has occurred to me about lossless vs lossy aka AIT vs SDT: The bit string to be losslessly compressed by AIT has to come from somewhere and that "somewhere" has to be, in some sense, "embodied" in its environment so as to receive data from its environment. The structure of

It's "impossible" that vision is any different from text Lossless Compression. Patterns = better Lossless Compression. Lossy is just good fruit with some bad side dish, Lossless Compression is all about looking at good fruit, things you can return back from the dead by decompression. Vision

I only like text prediction because using human made patterns is the best, images are not made by brains, so there may be less patterns from nature. But I will not limit myself to text one day. And a better compressor will compress images better, I see no reason to not do such a contest.

It's not a compressor, it's a predictor of the next letter of a sentence. It so happens that, being able to discover the rest of a sentence that you never seen before, allows you to step through a text file and compress it by not having to store much since you can discover the rest (by using
