@The_Lagrangian that is one of my favourite pieces of physics: a correspondence between shannon and physical entropy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_in_thermodynamics_and_information_theory#Szilard.27s_engine …1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@The_Lagrangian actually, that whole article.
I do not suppose you can reify degrees of freedom the same way you can do to possible strings?
