Exercise Compare the two entropy notions and identify what is preserved across the analogy. The course uses entropy as a bridge concept between communication theory and physics while insisting on careful interpretation. forbidden_confusions: - id: thermodynamics-and-entropy-confusion patterns: - Objective Explain how thermodynamic entropy relates to, and is identical to, Shannon entropy.
