; Complexity Landmarks
: '''The digits of Pi''' → A classic puzzle: it looks random (high Shannon entropy), but it has a very simple rule (low Kolmogorov complexity).
: '''Monkey on a Typewriter''' → If a monkey typed "Hamlet," it would be a miracle. But Kolmogorov complexity says the "Code" for Hamlet is still much shorter than a random string of the same length.
: '''The Solomonoff Induction''' → A theory of "Universal AI" that uses Kolmogorov complexity to predict the future by finding the simplest possible explanation for the past.
: '''Minimal Description Length (MDL)''' → A technique in statistics that picks the "Best Model" by finding the one that compresses the data the most.
