Take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolmogorov_complexity
The Kolmogorov Complexity of a video (or any other data) is the size of the shortest program which outputs that video then halts. This 4k executable is similar in spirit, but also follows strict rules about efficiency: Kolmogorov complexity places no time limits on that shortest program, whereas this program must output pixels fast enough to make the video realtime.
