Kolmogorov Complexity
While reading Small Programs and Languages on ratfactor.com, I came across Kolmogorov Complexity, which someone described on Wikipedia as:
the length of a shortest computer program (in a predetermined programming language) that produces the object as output
I don't really have any particular reason to use this concept, but I like the idea that there is a shortest computer program for outputting some result. Rather than write anymore here, I recommend reading the article linked above.
