The space of possible gene combinations is not compressible - under the evolutionary mechanism.
The space of behaviours of Turing machines is not compressible, in the terms in which that compression has been envisaged.
The mechanism that compresses search space that Believer posits is something to do with brains; something to do with intelligence. And it works - we know it does; Kekule works on the structure of benzene without success; sleeps, dreams of a serpent biting its own tail, and waking, conceives of the benzene ring.
The mechanism (and everyone here believes that it is a mechanism) is currently mysterious. AI must possess this mechanism, or it will not be AI.
