> My advice would be that there is always the potential to compress. Even in random sequences you will get repeated patterns. The difficulty is finding those patterns. You want a pattern that is easy to find first.

That's drivel, you can only compress independent information without loss as long as density allows.

A bit will never encode 3 states.
