Depends on your choice of Universal Turing Machine. You can choose a human, which is a valid universal turing machine, and then the kolmogorov complexity is equal.
Hm, good point. I think there might still be a way to save the concept that witches are more complex than electromagnetism, though.
You need a very large overhead for a human. This overhead contains some of the complexity of “witch” but comparatively less of the complexity of “electromagnetism”. So Complexity(human)+Complexity(“witch”, context=human) is an upper bound on the “inherent complexity” of “witch”, and the latter term alone doesn’t mean as much.

But where do we get Complexity(human)?
