Dear List,

That is one limited way to think of information . It is reasonably precise,
which is an advantage. But ignores and in fact rules out other usages that
share important basic properties, suggesting a unified notion that goes well

divergence is there in reality, and the place where there is convergence
is beyond our ability to grasp with an argument. I am sure that Stan
