This essential companion to Chaitin's successful books The
Unknowable and The Limits of Mathematics, presents the technical
core of his theory of program-size complexity. The two previous
volumes are more concerned with applications to meta-mathematics.
LISP is used to present the key algorithms and to enable computer
users to interact with the authors proofs and discover for
themselves how they work. The LISP code for this book is available
at the author's Web site together with a Java applet LISP
interpreter. "No one has looked deeper and farther into the abyss
of randomness and its role in mathematics than Greg Chaitin. This
book tells you everything hes seen. Don miss it." John Casti, Santa
Fe Institute, Author of Goedel: A Life of Logic.'
