Could a script/program be written that:

• Determines the number of bits in a single large file.

• Starting with the first bit that is a 1. The script will determine the pattern that hits the most 1s. For Example: 11111111 11111111 The rule would be turn every bit into 1. 10101010 10101010, turn every second bit into 1. etc, these are basic I know and I'm talking about some serious mathematical patterns realistically.

• The script creates the smallest set of rules for turning all the correct 1s on.

• If the script was run it would allocate a block of memory on your disk equal to the number of bits the original scanned file had, and then run the rules to turn on the correct bits.

• You could then share this compact set of rules with people over the internet to transfer large files in a really compressed way.

OR am I just being really stupid and this is pretty much how file compression works but in a less round about way?

Realistically could you expect the rules for the patterns to be much smaller than a file?
