The loop is the complexity itself. In lambda calculus, the Y combinator has a fixed-point structure: Yf is the fixed point of f. The loop does not terminate. The Kolmogorov complexity of an infinite loop is O(1) — a few characters in lambda calculus. The most complex output from the simplest input.

The loop is the complexity itself. In lambda calculus, the Y combinator has a fixed-point structure: Yf is the fixed point of f. The loop does not terminate. The Kolmogorov complexity (description length) of a program that generates this infinite loop can be constant — just a few characters in lambda calculus — even though its potential output grows without bound. The most complex output from the simplest input.
