Yes, actually related to some work I'm doing. It's about predictive power in compression. 

what's the most compressed you can make an abstaction and have it still be nearly deterministic. What would the equation (a useful abstraction) of compression to determinism look like?

Right!! You can’t spell “abstraction” without abstractions. 

The pursuit of “good*” abstraction, though, there’s the rub!

*powerful

(I mean, literally, name something that is not an abstraction, you can't!)
