Compressence.

To compress something to its essence. Einstein's E=mc². Bach compressing the architecture of music. Feynman compressing physics into diagrams a student could hold in one hand. A great songwriter compressing an entire emotional landscape into three minutes of poetry you carry with you.
If you haven't compressed enough, the signal is noisy. If you've compressed too far, you lose fidelity. But when you compress something to its essence, it arrives in its perfect form.
