The unifying theme is the application of Information Theory as a fundamental framework for understanding intelligence, biological organization, and consciousness. The key insight is that the processing, compression, and structuring of information are not just engineering tasks, but core principles defining how complex systems—from brains to algorithms—operate.

1. Compression as Intelligence

Theoretical frameworks like Solomonoff Induction and the AIXI agent define ideal intelligence as the ability to find the shortest program that explains observation data (based on Kolmogorov Complexity). This leads to the thesis that lossless compression is equivalent to intelligence. To compress data well (e.g., the Hutter Prize corpus), a system must model the underlying causal structures and regularities of that data. Recent empirical studies on  ...
