entropy

  • information theoretic definition
    • discrete
    • continuous
  • physics definition
  • relationship physics and IT
  • is the universe discrete, is it reversible?
    • continuous, reversible: works out i think
    • discrete, reversible: number of states at T=0 is exactly equal to possible number of states at T=100
  • simulations:
    • discrete, naive: entropy increases it's due to rounding errors, therefore irreversible
    • discrete, analytically: ? maintains internal state, therefore is fundamentally continuous with a modified entropy function (rasterizing the continuous space before we measure entropy)
    • continuous, reversible:
