  <default-description>Chaitin, the inventor of algorithmic information theory, presents in this book the strongest possible version of G&#246;del's incompleteness theorem, using an information theoretic approach based on the size of computer programs. One half of the book is concerned with studying the halting probability of a universal computer if its program is chosen by tossing a coin. The other half is concerned with encoding the halting probability as an algebraic equation in integers, a so-called exponential diophantine equation.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Hahha, I was telling someone the other day, &quot;the thing about Chaitin is that every book I've read by him points out, not once but several times, that he thinks himself the third in a line going back through Turing to Gödel. This makes him not only the greatest living computer scientist, but th...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65962051">more...</a>]]></body>
