I thought maybe it used Infinite Monkey Compression where a mathematic 
equation whose output over a specified domain would recreate the 
data-bits.  For those unfamiliar with Infinite Monkey Compression it was 
theorized by me a few years ago as an offshoot of Infinite Monkey 
Theorem (monkeys, typewriters Shakespeare, etc...).  The original theory 
was that is an infinite number of monkeys could eventually type the 
complete works of Shakespeare through random coincidence then a random 
bit generator running for an infinite amount of time would eventually 
produce the equivalent bit sequence of any particular piece of 
software.  Infinity being, well, rather infinite and humans being mortal 
and all, infinite runs on a RBG didn't seem like all that great of an 
option, so I kept thinking...  Then I realized that any file can be 
represented by a sequence of numbers.  All you have to do is find the 
equation that will output those number sequences and you've got a 
highly-compressed way to recreate any file.  Just send the equation give 
it a start and end value and let the computer save the output as a 
binary file.  Unfortunately I was never able to take IMC beyond the 
purely theoretical.
