Finite incompressibility #
At most 2^(k+1)-1 fixed-length strings can have deterministic
machine-relative time-bounded Kolmogorov complexity at most k. Consequently,
at least 2^n - (2^(k+1)-1) of the n-bit strings exceed k, and one such
string exists whenever k < n. In the strict convention used by MINKT, fewer
than 2^r strings have complexity below r, so at least
2^n - (2^r - 1) strings are r-random with complexity at least r.
The variable-length contents uniquely determine a strictly short program.
There are exactly 2^r - 1 binary programs of length strictly below r.
The variable-length contents uniquely determine a short program.
There are exactly 2^(k+1)-1 binary programs of length at most k.
Membership in the strict compressible-string set is exactly the MINKT
inequality C_U^t(x) < r.
Membership in the complementary random-string set means complexity at least the strict MINKT threshold.
Fewer than 2^r fixed-length strings have time-bounded complexity below
the strict threshold r.
At least 2^n - (2^r - 1) length-n strings are r-random within the
given clock.
Under uniform length-n strings, strict-MINKT probability is at most
(2^r - 1) / 2^n.
Uniform fixed-length strings have the complementary quantitative density
of r-random strings.
Whenever r ≤ n, some n-bit string is r-random within every fixed
clock.
Membership in the compressible-string set is exactly the bounded Kolmogorov-complexity inequality.
Membership in the incompressible-string set is exactly strict complexity above the bound.
No deterministic machine has more low-complexity outputs than short programs. The bound is independent of the output length and clock.
Quantitative finite incompressibility: all but at most 2^(k+1)-1 of the
n-bit strings have time-bounded complexity greater than k.
Under the uniform distribution on n-bit strings, the probability of
time-t complexity at most k is at most (2^(k+1)-1) / 2^n.
Uniform fixed-length strings are quantitatively dense above every time-bounded complexity threshold.
For every clock and every k < n, some n-bit string has time-bounded
complexity strictly greater than k.
