     1.7 +- image compression :: use a library like gimp or opencv to process an
     1.8 +     image to make it have less entropy, then store the reverse of
     1.9 +     those operations along with the compressed simpler image as a
    1.10 +     super-compressed image file (possibly sccapting some
    1.11 +     lesses). Trades file size for decompression time, and allows one
    1.12 +     to cheat by using information in gimp/opencv to compress the
    1.13 +     image.

    1.15  - fixed cryopreservation :: why not use a fixative to buy enough time
    1.16       to ramp up cryoprotectants to an acceptable level at room
    1.17       temperature? Then, the whole system can be rapidly cooled and
