the talmud on kolmogorov complexity

[aepfelx]

Pirkei Avot 5:1

The world was created with ten utterances. What does this come to teach us? Certainly, it could have been created with a single utterance.

Also, on universality:

Avot 5:6 -- Ten things were created at twilight of Shabbat eve: ... the original tongs, for tongs are made with tongs.

Wlog we assume that the entity that created the world acted optimally... So perhaps 10 is the minimum required...

you're gonna have to explain this (everything except kolmogorov complexity)
