| obviously. But what if there was a theoretical floor, based on the laws of mathematics? Im not arguing there can be, but what if?
I think it all comes down to a single premise. If
| taking the square root of a Very Large number (1000 characters) can massively decrease the number of characters, then isnt that by itself a compression? All you gotta do is not add
My advice for sqrt, DO THE MATH. It is really not hard, and it will help you understand the issues involved. DO NOT try to add AES or something into the mix, do ONE thing first.
| realistic, no, but what if the shrinking process involved with square-rooting results in more compressioj than not? If the compression even had a mere 51% chance of being superior,
