The convergence in appearance of planetary nebulae, electron probability clouds, black hole jets, etc., basically results from the fact that the electromagnetic and gravitational forces both follow inverse square laws. Is his generalized thesis that the inverse square law itself, that is so common in physics, is a result of the low pass Kolmogorov filter? And that these laws can be somehow backed out of the generalized Kolmogorov complexity that he is proposing? Admittedly, I don't have any expertise on information theory, so I'm not at all qualified to critique it, but seems like a pretty awesome idea.
