Quotations
16 ;;Quote: most binary sequences require programs of the same size; the number generated by smaller programs decreases exponentially; gives proof
17 ;;Quote: random sequences are those that require the longest programs; not random if generated by a short program
18 ;;Quote: the fastest way to calculate a infinite subset of a perfect, infinite set of numbers is to calculate the whole set; such sets exist
