Sorry Sung, you know about the rules of engagement in this list... you
have gone to 5 msgs. And that means one and half weeks of sanction. Even
more after having warned you privately several times.
Anyhow, tomorrow I will make public an embarrassing bureaucratic
procedure that the list has to suffer next days.
Best wishes--Pedro

Hi Krassimir,
I think the main reason that we express 'information' as a
logarithmic function of the number of choices available, n, may
be because the human brain finds it easier to remember (and
communicate and reason with) 10 than 10000000000, or 100 than
1000000000. . . . 00000, etc.
All the best.
Sung

Dear Sung,
A simple question:
If always n>0 why we need log in
I = -log_2(m/n) = - log_2 (m) + log_2(n) (1)
Friendly greetings
Krassimir
