I should also mention that there is a good chance that there is a kind of "conservation of complexity" here. Sure you can streamline googology and make it simpler but only up to a point. This is certainly true if we restrict ourselves to computable functions. I would conjecture that even if we allow uncomputable functions that there is a limit to how much compression information can undergo.
