In addition, different observers would recieve different chunks of the
string being produced. So each observer would have their own subjective
view about the smallest Turing machine that would create the string they
received.
Combine the strings, overlapping where appropriate, and you can
formulate an objective reality which is correct insofar as the number of
observaters/observations. This objective reality is again the smallest
turing program to produce the string, and the more we observe it the
more complex the program. Just like reality! ;P
