Naïve implementation?

I wonder if there is a way to make a smarter way of calculating the entropy. Repetitive patterns should reduce the entropy, for instance. Basically, the entropy should be the number of bits returned by the best possible ever compression program or something. Even better: the size of the smallest computing program that outputs the sequence.--Grondilu 21:11, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
