More formally, the complexity of a string is the length of the shortest possible description of the string in some fixed universal description language ( the sensitivity of complexity relative to the choice of description language is discussed below ).

If P is a program which outputs a string x, then P is a description of x.

The length of the description is just the length of P as a character string, multiplied by the number of bits in a character ( e. g. 7 for ASCII ).

If M is a Turing Machine which, on input w, outputs string x, then the concatenated string < M > w is a description of x.

Thus, if P is a program in L < sub > 2 </ sub > which is a minimal description of s, then InterpretLanguage ( P ) returns the string s. The length of this description of s is the sum of

It is not hard to see that the minimal description of a string cannot be too much larger than the string itself-the program GenerateFixedString above that outputs s is a fixed amount larger than s.

To prevent loss of synchronization when a long string of zeros is present in the payload, deliberate bipolar violations are inserted into the line code, to create a sufficient number of transitions to maintain synchronization ; this is a form of run length limited coding.
