This imitation would lead his conception of entropy in communication or simply put the amount of average disorder in sequences of letters. Shannon, quite beautifully and too the point, explores in this dissertation how we might use markov models to imitate such dependencies. These collections of letters congregate together in different combinations to form words and those words form sentences. Letters in words are, obviously, in some way dependent upon the previous letters in their sequence. Human communication is a dichotomy between chaos and statistical dependencies. “It is remarkable that a science which began with the consideration of games of chance should have become the most important object of human knowledge.” ~Pierre-Simon Laplace Théorie Analytique des Probabilitiés (1812) ![]()
