Loet et al - I guess I am not convinced that information and entropy
are connected. Entropy in physics has the dimension of energy divided
by temperature. Shannon entropy has no physical dimension - it is
missing the Boltzman constant. Therefore how can entropy and shannon
entropy be
Bob,
If the notions of Entropy and Shannon Information are alternative approaches
to characterize the same phenomenon in Nature, then the ways they have been
modeled would not necessarily reveal an underlying and fundamental
commonality. I think that many of us suspect that this is the case and

hi stan - I think we need to agree to disagree - for me final cause
involves purpose or intention. A gas that expands into a larger
volume has no intention or purpose and therefore one cannot talk
about final cause because there is no agent - I did enjoy your
argument but I just cannot buy
