论文摘要
我们证明，组件组装理论（AT）的组装途径方法是一种由流行统计压缩算法广泛使用的编码方案。我们表明，与基于算法概率相比，在所有情况下（合成或自然）的性能与其他简单的编码方案和表现不佳相似，这些索引基于算法概率，考虑到统计重复，但也考虑了其他可计算模式的可能性。我们的结果表明，组装指数对包括传统统计方法在内的现有方法没有实质性改进，这意味着以前已经报道了遵循这些方法的生物和非生物化合物之间的分离。
We demonstrate that the assembly pathway method underlying assembly theory (AT) is an encoding scheme widely used by popular statistical compression algorithms. We show that in all cases (synthetic or natural) AT performs similarly to other simple coding schemes and underperforms compared to system-related indexes based upon algorithmic probability that take into account statistical repetitions but also the likelihood of other computable patterns. Our results imply that the assembly index does not offer substantial improvements over existing methods, including traditional statistical ones, and imply that the separation between living and non-living compounds following these methods has been reported before.
