Combinatorial explosion and information processing When we handle information we face combinatorial explosion everywhere. There is always more to know than we can store, and if we want to consider all aspects and details, we run out of memory space as well as of processing power. Most people are not aware of the huge power that lies in this unevitable multiplication of information in combinations, as soon as things get a little bit complex. The good news however is, that the mechanism of the combinatorial explosion is not only a challenge, but a remedy, too, when used in a
