I wish this forum is still alive :-) The limit of compression is the mass, that is a law of physics. It is said that information has mass, bits, bytes....indeed represent mass, then there is not such a thing like infinite compression. But, having said that the error is to consider information like having a mass. What we are used to compress is not information, but a mass for whcih we assign meaning/information. I believe and I can demonstrate that no matter how "big" is the supposed data volume, that is in the end a number: 100011100001111111100001111...... That number is not he information but a pointer, an address. As far as you are able to represent that specific address, then you are able to recover the complete information. Is there any one there

Particles have orthogonal properties. Orthogonal properties are data. Data is mass... -- Rick C

Particle designs are symbol-based coding like Huffman, string-based LZ, etc. Wave designs are BWT, etc. ?
