Physical measures of complexity
Description
The author discusses the physics of information. He states that if A is initially in one of the states α with probability pα, then to put A in a particular state with probability of one requires either an increase in entropy of -summation αpαlogpα, elsewhere, or an increase of the same amount of information that some other system has
