 Let's keep in mind compression is not applied just to files on hard drives, it can also be used e.g. in RAM to utilize it more efficiently.
 
 Why don't we compress everything? Firstly because compressed data is slow to work with, it requires significant CPU time to compress and decompress data, it's a kind of a space-time tradeoff (we gain more storage space for the cost of CPU time). Secondly compressed data is more prone to [corruption](corruption.md) because redundant information (which can help restoring corrupted data) is removed from it -- in fact we sometimes purposefully do the opposite of compression and make our data bigger to protect it from corruption (see e.g. [error correcting](error_correction.md) codes, [RAID](raid.md) etc.). And last but not least, many data can hardly be compressed or are so small it's not even worth it.
@@ -47,6 +49,8 @@ The following is an overview of some most common compression techniques.
 
 **[Predictor](predictor.md) compression** is based on making a *predictor* that tries to guess following data from previous values (which can be done e.g. in case of pictures, sound or text) and then only storing the difference against such a predicted result. If the predictor is good, we may only store the small amount of the errors it makes.
 
+A famous family of dictionary compression algorithms are **Lempel-Ziv (LZ)** algorithms -- these two guys first proposed [LZ77](lz77.md) in (1977, sliding window) and ([LZ78](lz78.md), explicitly stored dictionary, 1978). These were a basis for improved/remix algorithms, most notably [LZW](lzw.md) (1984, Welch). Additionally these algorithms are used and combined in other algorithms, most notably [gif](gif.md) and [DEFLATE](deflate.md) (used e.g. in gzip and png).
+
 An approach similar to the predictor may be trying to find some general mathematical [model](model.md) of the data and then just find and store the right parameters of the model. This may for example mean [vectorizing](vector_graphics.md) a bitmap image, i.e. finding geometrical shapes in an image composed of pixels and then only storing the parameters of the shapes -- of course this may not be 100% accurate, but again if we want to preserve the data accurately, we may additionally also store the small amount of errors the model makes. Similar approach is used in [vocoders](vocoder.md) used in cellphones that try to mathematically model human speech (however here the compression is lossy), or in [fractal](fractal.md) compression of images. A nice feature we gain here is the ability to actually "increase the resolution" (or rather generate detail) of the original data -- once we fit a model onto our data, we may use it to tell us values that are not actually present in the data (i.e. we get a fancy [interpolation](interpotation.md)/[extrapolation](extrapolation.md)).
 
 Another property of data to exploit may be its sparsity -- if for example we have a huge image that's prevalently white, we may say white is the implicit color and we only somehow store the pixels of other colors.

 **How is this different from other ideologies and "life philosophies"?** Well, one principal difference is that LRS doesn't want to [fight](fight_culture.md); nowadays as well as in the past society has always been about conflict, playing a **game** against others (nowadays e.g. market competition, employment competition, media competition, ...) in which some win, some can manage and some lose. Most political parties nowadays just want to change the rules of the game or downright switch to a different kind of game, some want to make the rules "more fair", or to make it favor their represented minority (so called [fascism](fascism.md)), some just want to [hack](hacking.md) the game, some want to [cheat](cheat.md) to win the game easily, some want to play fair but still win (i.e. become "successful"). LRS simply sees any kind of such game as unnecessary, cruel unethical and harmful in many ways not just to us, but to the whole planet. LRS therefore simply wants to stop the game, not by force but by making everyone see how bad the game is. It says that **competition and conflict must seize to be the basis of society**.

In late stage capitalism this is not possible as an "ethical" marketing is a non effective marketing.
