A new version of algorithmic information theory [PDF]

open access: yesComplexity, 1996
AbstractWe present a much more concrete version of algorithmic information theory in which one can actually run on a computer the algorithms in the proofs of a number of key information‐theoretic incompleteness theorems.

Ray Solomonoff, Founding Father of Algorithmic Information Theory [PDF]

open access: yesAlgorithms, 2010
Ray J. Solomonoff died on December 7, 2009, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, of complications of a stroke caused by an aneurism in his head. Ray was the first inventor of Algorithmic Information Theory which deals with the shortest effective description ...

An Economy Viewed as a Far-from-Equilibrium System from the Perspective of Algorithmic Information Theory. [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy (Basel), 2018
This paper, using Algorithmic Information Theory (AIT), argues that once energy resources are considered, an economy, like an ecology, requires continuous energy to be sustained in a homeostatic state away from the decayed state of its (local ...

Information Theory in Perception of Form: From Gestalt to Algorithmic Complexity

open access: yesEntropy
In 1948, Claude Shannon published a revolutionary paper on communication and information in engineering, one that made its way into the psychology of perception and changed it for good. However, the path to truly successful applications to psychology has

Emergence and algorithmic information dynamics of systems and observers [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A, 2021
One of the challenges of defining emergence is that one observer’s prior knowledge may cause a phenomenon to present itself as emergent that to another observer appears reducible.

Law without law: from observer states to physics via algorithmic information theory [PDF]

open access: yesQuantum, 2017
According to our current conception of physics, any valid physical theory is supposed to describe the objective evolution of a unique external world. However, this condition is challenged by quantum theory, which suggests that physical systems should not
