Michelle Effros | Shannon's Channel and Capacity

[@Tom-sp3gy]

Fantastic presentation ! So crisp and clear and comprehensible!

Michelle , You make information technology fascinating and very practical.

Damn.. This is what i wanted! Wonderful! Everybody knows shannans formula and solve problems/numericals but they don't know true meaning of what shannans capacity is. Thank God you guys uploaded it.

I just accidentally got the video on Claude Shannon. I read an article in spectrum where I read the term, Shannon's limit. The article is focused on data transmission via fiber optic of 600 gigps by 3 male engineers from tum. at first I thought Claude Shannon is from Germany. My impression of the lecture is excellent and my hope for professor Effros is the future Deputy Director of NSF which is still vacant.

Syntropy (prediction) is dual to increasing entropy -- the 4th law of thermodynamics. The process of maximizing mutual information leads to optimizing your prediction -- syntropy. Predictions are used to track targets, goals -- teleology. All observers track targets. The word entropy means "a tendency to diverge or differentiate into new states". The word syntropy means "a tendency to converge", information is converged into a prediction by the brain. "Through imagination and reason we turn experience into foresight (prediction)" -- Spinoza describing syntropy. Convergence is dual to divergence, integration is dual to differentiation. Teleological physics is dual to non-teleological physics. Randomness (entropy) is dual to order (predictability). Entropy is dual to evolution (syntropy) -- Janna Levin, Astrophysicist. Energy is dual to mass -- Einstein. Dark energy is dual to dark matter. "Always two there are" -- Yoda.
