Jack. You are correct of course. But then again that is the function of memory. To compress information so that it can be retrieved and acted upon faster than the environment can change so that we can defeat time, and in doing so capture its calories. 😉

Thought for you: compression and reduction. Ie: reducibility. Reduction permits compression. Mathematical, algorithmic, operational, formal language, ordinary language all reduce to compress.
