31 ;;Quote: communication reproduces a message from a set of possible messages; semantics and meaning are irrelevant
32 ;;Quote: use logarithm to measure information; parameters tend to vary linearly with the logarithm of the number of possibilities; e.g., two punched cards vs. one
32 ;;Quote: a bit is a binary digit; for measuring information
33 ;;Quote: a communication system transmits information from a source over a channel, where it is received at its destination
48 ;;Quote: entropy is the measure of information; the only continuous property that increases with more choices, and decomposition is a weighted sum
70 ;;Quote: fundamental theorem for a discrete channel with noise; if source entropy less than channel capacity, average frequency of error is arbitrarily small
