In contrast to entropy, which increases monotonically, the "complexity" or "interestingness" of closed systems seems intuitively to increase at first and then decrease as equilibrium is approached. For example, our universe lacked complex…

It is well known that normality can be described as incompressibility via finite automata. Still the statement and the proof of this result as given by Becher and Heiber (2013) in terms of "lossless finite-state compressors" do not follow…
