MEANING COMPRESSION
The process by which a person's complex intentions, preferences and judgments survive only as reduced traces inside an artifact.
The work does not contain the whole creator.
It contains compressed traces of decisions.
PRESERVATION ≠ COMPRESSION
The artifact preserves less than a person, but often survives longer than the person.
