Statistical Physics and the Fundamentals of Minimum Description Length and Minimum Message Length

Scientific Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Physics - Other grade: A 4.00 course: Statistical Physics language: English abstract: The use of algorithmic complexity in compressing a random binary sequential string is used to redefine a measure of 'randomness' found using both Minimum Description Length MDL and Minimum Message Length MML that changes the very nature of thier measures of a binary sequential string. The 'compressible' random binary sequential string was discovered in 1998 by the author and this is the first application to both MDL and MML.
