The concept was invented and coined by Vahe Gurzadyan,[1] and then listed by Stephen Webb as Solution 23 to the Fermi paradox: "The Armenian mathematical physicist Vahe Gurzadyan has posited an interesting hypothesis: we might inhabit a Galaxy 'full of traveling life streams' – strings of bits beamed throughout space.
"[2] Kolmogorov complexity is defined as the length of the computer program which enables the complete recovery of an object.
Moreover, he noticed that since the genomic information on the terrestrial life, starting from bacteria up to humans, contains essential common parts, the entire terrestrial life information can be compressed and transmitted, as he estimated, to over Galactic distances via Arecibo-type antenna.
[4][5] This concept assumes a different strategy of the study of the cosmic signals based on universal compressing and decoding principles.
[6] Information panspermia is discussed in: [7] "Gurzadyan’s idea offers a straightforward practical consequence: we should study alleged SETI signals from the point of view of the algorithmic information theory and we should try to identify and decode possible bit strings hidden in the noise."
