Title: Measures of complexity and information erasure
Abstract:
t is still argued how to best quantify complexity and to what end. One prominent measure of complexity (the statistical complexity) has an operational meaning in terms of the amount of resources needed to forecasting a system's behaviour. Another one (the effective measure complexity, aka excess entropy) is a measure of mutual information of the system’s behaviour. We show that the two measures are related through the amount of information which is erased during forecasting. This result provides the information theoretic analysis of complex systems with a statistical mechanics perspective.
