Needs fleshing out?
It seems that this page could benefit from some additional detail around:
- Information theory (Shannon is seen as the father of the field and introduced the 'bit' as a measure of information content).
- Cryptography. For example, Shannon's proof of the security of the one-time pad.
- Perhaps a comparison of Shannon entropy versus Kolmogorov complexity versus Dembski's specified complexity.
