Re: abstraction = compression

resuming, the three basic characteristics of sequential numbering are

A. withing the total ID space, a lower ID entropy than is plausible by
normal coincidental frequential spreading, typically even zero

B. with regard to storage, a useful, i.e. low total ID space / ID total
ratio

C. the absence of doubles

above characteristics are typical but not necessary. the use of compression
would reduce the need for a low ID space, the use of encryption could
disguise a low ID entropy, which would require you to figure out a key, and
doubles could be introduced to enhance plausibility within a particular
reality.

given the above, it is unsure whether indications of some form of
non-conincidence, of regularity like in sequential numbering, could be found
at all in unique IDs such as our fingerprints, not least since safety levels
could apply that would depend on both the processing ability of the marker
and that of the marked.
