I was actually surprised how uncompressible the timedelta stream

does not make any sense. the result of a complex recursive chaotic
calculation always appears uncompressible, unless you know the proper
underlying model. trying to compress it only puts an upper limit on
entropy, but never an estimation, let alone lower bound.

Exactly so. Because entropy is measured over counterfactuals, it can never be known from observation, only from theory.

Which is sort of weird, seeing as there is something observable about the fact that things run down and fall apart.
