Abstract
⺠A measure called physical complexity is established and calculated for a population of sequences. ⺠It is a measure of the quantity of information in an organism's genome. ⺠It is based on Shannon's entropy, measuring a population evolved in its environment. ⺠We investigate an extension to support variable length populations. ⺠We build upon this to measure information storage efficiency to understand population clustering.
