Generation

Data compression limits, defined by information theory, represent the maximum amount a file can be compressed without losing information. These limits are significant because they tell us when we've extracted all redundancy from data—truly random or already-compressed data cannot be further compressed. Understanding these boundaries helps optimize storage systems and prevents wasted effort trying to compress incompressible data.
