Turing Machines and Algorithmic Information.

Contrast Shannon’s code- and communication-based approach to information with a new, algorithmic way of thinking about the problem in terms of descriptions and computations. See how this idea relates to Alan Turing’s theoretical universal computing machine, which underlies the operation of all digit...
