Site bug?: I posted this to the theory category, but unlike Chris's earlier posts to other categories, the theory in the small print under the post is not a link...

I fixed that a couple of seconds ago. Notice that this linking is done using the shortcuts feature here. It can help you out: you canuse it to reduce typing. For example I can use EOPL in quotes and get a link. You can check ti out, and add useful things.

I might mention that Gellman's book The Quark and the Jaguar discusses AIT (Algorithmic Information Theory) a bit. It is not a great book, by any standard, but it is tolerable.
Chaitin's work is fascinating, and highly important (esp. if you are an info-theory buff like myself), so I highly recommend checking it out. Chaitin himself wrote some popular essays, and I seem to recall a Martin Gardner piece about AIT in one of his numerous (and great) collections.
Now please, someone, rescue us, and give some links to information theory+language links...

[Sorry, I know it was a bit off-topic; my original Chaitin post was connected with a Lisp interpreter, and then this one seemed to be connected...]
