Now *that* is an elegantly formulated request. For things like this, I, like many others, normally start with wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_Theory) or scholarpedia (http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Special:Search?from=sidebar&search=Information+Theory&go=Title) when possible (Cool! Among the articles on Information Theory is scholarpedia is one that is curated by Marcus Hutter). If you go to either place, you'll see that a lot of space is devoted to entropy. It takes resources to run counter to entropy. I'm arguing that Information Theory argues that the resources required for Vladimir's vision is *vastly* in excess of what he believes it to be. ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: http://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: http://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=95818715-a78a9b Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
