Algorithmic Information Theory

Algorithmic Information Theory is a branch of information theory that quantifies the complexity of data by defining the information content of an object as the length of the shortest possible computer program that can reproduce it, distinguishing it from other information measures by grounding information in computational describability rather than probabilistic entropy.
