Re: Well, there went mathematics out the door

said by Jason Bruce:
Since the algorithm works on any arbitrary string, that means you can feed the output back into the input, right? Eventually you can compress everything down to one byte, with no data loss!
Just think... the entire library of congress can be represented by the letter F
Not that I'm saying that it isn't bunk, but, if you are going to loop the output back through the algorithm a few times to further compress the data the resulting output would have to also indicate how many times it needs to be looped in order to decompress correctly.

BTW - A thru G probably represent porn, afterall, it seems to be the leading innovative driver everywhere else
