I mean I know we compress stuff, and I don't know about all the various methods. But I thought compression is like a transformation on the data to remove information, dehydrate, make it more "dense" along with instructions on how to reconstruct/puff it back up/rehydrate after. But pieces of the original string of bits are still present unchanged in the compressed file. But what I'm talking about is transferring a recipe for generating the binary from scratch.
