In the following stages I'll leave to your imagination the advanced calculations from years of mathematical thinking which could be employed.
The maths itself is simple but the mathematical techniques and knowledge would assuredly be complex and advanced to generate the character string.
You have it in your minds that it can't be overcome, and are blocked to approaching the task in a different way where your Maths needn't apply.
So, maths is advanced, maths is powerful, maths is needed to build this "algorithm", yet it doesn't need to apply. Looks a bit strange to me... and now an invaluable quote from Manao:

Maths still apply: you're the one using an uber-mathematical compression scheme, and you don't like it when the same maths prove you wrong?
Well said. Damn well said...
...do we really need to further "discuss" this topic?
Oh and BTW, I've invented the perfect compression algorithm. Here it goes, step by step:
1) found a company.
2) output several press releases claiming that your compression scheme is the best and that it will work on any data, up to a 1000:1 compression ratio.
3) collect investors' money in a Swiss bank account.
4) state that you're going to demo it privately for Philips and that they're going to buy an exclusive license.
5) collect Philips' rival companies money to have it demoed a few days before Philips.
6) the day before the demo, claim the money collected at points 3 and 5 from your bank.
7) change your name into something less suspicious.
8) fly to Maldives with a couple of top-models.
9) done!
...finally an algorithm that works without that boring math stuff... anyone available for beta testing it?
