I agree with Brian here. Yockey not only doesn't provide a mechanisim for
determining this, he says that it is impossible to tell a highly complex
sequence from a random one.
"Thus it is fundamentally undecidable whether a given sequence is random or
not."~Hubert Yockey, Information Theory and Molecular Systems, (Cambridge:
Cambridge University Press, 1992), p. 81.
and further,
"Thus both random sequences and highly organized sequences are complex because
a long algorithm is needed to describe each one. Information theory shows
that it is fundamentally undecidable whether a given sequence has been
generated by a stochastic process or by a highly organized process. This is
in contrast with the classical law of the excluded middle (tertium non datur),
that is, the doctrine that a statement or theorem must be either true or
false. Algorithmic information theory shows that truth or validity may also
be indeterminate or fundamentally undecidable."~Hubert Yockey, Information
Theory and Molecular Systems, (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1992),
p. 82.
To Yockey, a highly organized sequence is one which contains information in
the colloquial sense of that term. What this last quotation says, that you
can not possibly tell if a sequence is designed or caused by a random process.
The result of these two processes look alike.
