Just revisiting the subject of why Kolmogorov complexity is incomputable. A 'recent' (2020) paper discusses the subject: europepmc.org/article/PMC/PMC7
"Kolmogorov complexity is the length of the ultimately compressed version of a file (i.e., anything which can be put in a computer). Formally, it is the length of a shortest program from which the file can be reconstructed."
