Ray Solomonoff (July 25, 1926 – December 7, 2009) was the inventor of algorithmic probability, his General Theory of Inductive Inference (also known as Universal Inductive Inference), and was a founder of algorithmic information theory. He was an originator of the branch of artificial intelligence based on machine lear...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithmic%20probability
In algorithmic information theory, algorithmic probability, also known as Solomonoff probability, is a mathematical method of assigning a prior probability to a given observation. It was invented by Ray Solomonoff in the 1960s. It is used in inductive inference theory and analyses of algorithms. In his general theory...

Algorithmic complexity may refer to: In algorithmic information theory, the complexity of a particular string in terms of all algorithms that generate it. Solomonoff–Kolmogorov–Chaitin complexity, the most widely used such measure. In computational complexity theory, although it would be a non-formal usage of the te...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interface%20bloat
In software design, interface bloat (also called fat interfaces by Bjarne Stroustrup and Refused Bequests by Martin Fowler) is when an interface incorporates too many operations on some data into an interface, only to find that most of the objects cannot perform the given operations. Interface bloat is an example of a...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum%20flow%20problem
In optimization theory, maximum flow problems involve finding a feasible flow through a flow network that obtains the maximum possible flow rate. The maximum flow problem can be seen as a special case of more complex network flow problems, such as the circulation problem. The maximum value of an s-t flow (i.e., flow f...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path%20%28computing%29
A path is a string of characters used to uniquely identify a location in a directory structure. It is composed by following the directory tree hierarchy in which components, separated by a delimiting character, represent each directory. The delimiting character is most commonly the slash ("/"), the backslash character ...
