Boston’s Logan Airport clearly has a preference when it comes to fundamental particles because I haven’t seen a Fermion sign anywhere

This is the closest thing i’ve come to a noumenal experience.
i have literally no reference for it. it is only itself-in-itself.
every part of it contradicts itself in so many ways that the only thing left is The Lacanian Real. The Truth.

Finally, we find that information gets lost VERY fast in this process, but the rate of loss depends on the message itself! Messages which can be distorted in more “symmetric” ways tend to lose information much faster than messages with more complex structures of possible “confusion”.

We also find that neither opinion dynamics models nor spreading models can truly capture the dynamics of information in a setting where messages can be distorted at the same time scale they spread. The former overestimates information loss, and the latter underestimates it.

We find that in homogenous populations, as long as there is any information that enters the population through initial reporting, there will always be at least some information. However, coordinated reporting can lead to no information--even while there are messages spreading!

To do so, we built a model and framework which bridges the gap between information theory and spreading dynamics, so that we can calculate just how much information is being received at any point in time.

So, in a world where news and messages spread virally, how much information can we really receive? This is what we set out to understand!

When we read the news, we decode those messages via codes as well… but often, the codes don’t exactly align because we have different experiences and viewpoints. This misalignment leads to distortions.

Foundational communication theory tells us that events aren’t transcribed into objective facts when they turn into news, they’re encoded via linguistic and cultural codes. This is the crucial transformative moment from event to message.
