(1997) Philosophy of mathematics today, Dordrecht, Springer.
We would like to be able to measure the complexity (or quantity, or form, or structure) of any finite symbolic objects, such as chromosomes, texts, pictures and pieces of music. How much form does such an object have, how complex is it? We would like our measure to be uniform, so as to allow us to compare the complexity of heterogeneous objects, like genes, photos and songs.
