Talk:entropy

Background for addition to (2) and new definition (4)
"Entropy is 'disorder'" has been a standard definition in dictionaries and in science since 1898. Its origin is not in profound science or supported by scientific thought and analytical discussion. Instead, it was the informal, general language summary of a great theorist, Boltzmann, because he knew molecules moved randomly and thus chose 'disorder' as a summary of the final state of any system at equilibrium. Here are the details: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Entropy/Archive2#Disorder. Because 'disorder' is fundamentally an unscientific term (and its meaning debated without agreement for a hundred years), it has been replaced by a scientific view of entropy (definition 4, here) in the majority of chemistry texts published since 2003. They are listed under "December 2005" in http://www.entropysite.com.

Definition 4, describing entropy as a measurement of the amount and extent of energy dispersal, has been adopted by the majority of first year chemistry textbooks and by several in physical chemistry as listed in the Internet source above. It is part of the modern view of the second law of thermodynamics stating the innate nature of all types of energy to become dispersed and spread out in space and temporally. (A discussion of the modern view of the second law for non-science individuals and beginners in chemistry is at http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/The_Second_Law_of_Thermodynaimcs [The misspelling was in the origin of the Wikibook page!] FrankLambert 16:35, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Public record from .gov site, not even bearing a copyright
Information Is Not Entropy, Information Is Not Uncertainty! Dr. Thomas D. Schneider National Institutes of Health National Cancer Institute Center for Cancer Research Nanobiology Program Molecular Information Theory Group Frederick, Maryland 21702-1201 schneidt@mail.nih.gov http://www.ccrnp.ncifcrf.gov/~toms/

There are many many statements in the literature which say that information is the same as entropy. The reason for this was told by Tribus. The story goes that Shannon didn't know what to call his measure so he asked von Neumann, who said `You should call it entropy ... [since] ... no one knows what entropy really is, so in a debate you will always have the advantage' (Tribus1971).

Shannon called his measure not only the entropy but also the "uncertainty". I prefer this term because it does not have physical units associated with it. If you correlate information with uncertainty, then you get into deep trouble. Suppose that:

information ~ uncertainty

but since they have almost identical formulae:

uncertainty ~ physical entropy

so

information ~ physical entropy

BUT as a system gets more random, its entropy goes up:

randomness ~ physical entropy

so

information ~ physical randomness

How could that be? Information is the very opposite of randomness!

The confusion comes from neglecting to do a subtraction:

Information is always a measure of the decrease of uncertainty at a receiver (or molecular machine).

If you use this definition, it will clarify all the confusion in the literature.

Note: Shannon understood this distinction and called the uncertainty which is subtracted the 'equivocation'. Shannon (1948) said on page 20:

R = H(x) - Hy(x)

"The conditional entropy Hy(x) will, for convenience, be called the equivocation. It measures the average ambiguity of the received signal."

The mistake is almost always made by people who are not actually trying to use the measure. As a practical example, consider the sequence logos. Further discussion on this topic is in the http://www.ccrnp.ncifcrf.gov/~toms/bionet.info-theory.faq.html under the topic I'm Confused: How Could Information Equal Entropy?

For a more mathematical approach, see the Information Theory Primer.

Some questions and answers might make these isues more clear.

"In information theory, the term can imply increasing predictability or increasing entropy, depending on the context." Kevin Padian, who wrote the review, reports that the error came from the book he was reviewing: Intelligent Design Creationism and Its Critics Philosophical, Theological, and Scientific Perspectives Robert T.

This is an example of the typical physicists' muddle about "erasure" in which they set the state of a device to one of several states and call this a "loss of information". But setting a device to one state (no matter what it is) decreases the entropy and increases the information. The main mistake that the physicists make is not having any real working examples. It's entirely theoretical for them. (These people believe that they can beat the Second Law. I would simply ask them to build the perpetual motion machine and run the world power grid from it before making such a claim.)

@article{Crow2001, author = "J. F. Crow", title = "{Shannon's brief foray into genetics}", journal = "Genetics", volume = "159", pages = "915--917", year = "2001"}

He confounds information with uncertainty, but forgot the minus sign on the sum p log p formula. He also confounded information with entropy. Finally, he claimed that "a noisy system can send an undistorted signal provided that the appropriate error corrections or redundancy are built in". This is incorrect since there will always be error, but Shannon's channel capacity theorem shows that the error can be made as low as desired (but not zero as this author claims).

"Entropy measures lack of information; it also measures information. These two conceptions are complementary. " The meanings of entropy, Jean-Bernard Brissaud, Entropy 2005, 7[1], 68-96.

2006 Oct 19: Martin Van Staveren pointed out that

at the top of page 22 Shannon's 1948 paper, it seems to be suggested, that part of the received information is due to noise. This is obviously a slip of the pen of Shannon, as he merely tries to explain, in words, that the information rate R is the initial uncertainty minus the uncertainty due to the noise; but he calls H "information" instead of "entropy". He further pointed out that much of the confusion may have come from Weaver: see this: http://www.uoregon.edu/~felsing/virtual_asia/info.html This is part of the intro that Weaver wrote for "The mathematical theory of information". Some people even refer to "Shannon-Weaver theory" because of this intro. section 2.5 of this intro: noise generates "spurious", or "undesirable" information, whatever that may mean. The section also introduces the esoteric notion of "meaningless information", contrary to what Shannon himself says in the body of the text. I think that Weaver's arrogance in thinking that he had to "explain" Shannon, has done a big disservice to information theory, which really is only probability theory.

What he described is the Shannon uncertainty. Shannon information is a difference between uncertainties. Because of his confusion, he associates disorder with information.

2009 Jan 21: 6.050J Information and Entropy (Spring 2008) an MIT Open Courseware course. The preface reads: "Only recently has entropy been widely accepted as a form of information." which is, of course backwards.

Also, the statement "Second Law states that entropy never decreases as time goes on" is wrong since the entropy of a system can decreas if heat leaves the system - that's how snowflakes form!

At least they admit: "In fact, we may not yet have it right."!!

Removal of seemingly-prescriptive statement in the definition line

 * Um, no.
 * 1) ASCII doesn't take diacritics, sure; but while diacritics on native English words are on their way out, and seen as old-fashioned, they havnt entirely disappeared yet.  (French diacritics are still en vogue though, with spellings like façade and naïve, etc.  See Everson, The Alphabets of Europe s.v. English.
 * 2) In any case, this is RFV. Votes for deletion, as described above, are entirely meaningless; this is a place for words to stand on their own evidence.  If the word fails RFV and goes to RFD, then you can vote.  —Muke Tever 01:13, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The diaeresis is not seeing much use any more, but since print sticks around, it's worth documenting uses that are not necessarily still common. And, in the Google Books search (see prec.), while the most modern usage in the first page is 1922, on the second set of 10 matches there are usages post-2000. --Dajagr 06:38, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * While I personally dislike the usage, it is now sufficiently uncommon that people are likely to look up the first few English words they find containing diacritics, to find out what they mean. Even 40 years ago, noone taught me that a diacritic indicated a new syllable in English, only that umlauts altered vowels in German.  Therefore, we should keep the entries for them to look up.  And it seems (see above) that some are still using them --Enginear 15:10, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

 * Do Oxford, Webster and Princeton explicitly say that these aren't words? That's unusal. Dictionaries usually say what is a word, not what isn't. Mglovesfun (talk) 13:19, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * No, no mistakes in the nomination. It's a bit of a useless one though; all four forms are easily attestable (much to my surprise!) so I'd move to close this nomination as it's simply a matter of copying up the citations; finding them was easy. --Mglovesfun (talk) 13:30, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

 * "Legitimate" implies a value judgment, which is something that falls under the purview of prescriptive: as opposed to descriptive:. As far as I've been given to understand, Wiktionary strives for the latter rather than the former, so provided we can find sufficient citations, "legitimate" or not is apparently beside the question.
 * As an addendum, some style authorities insist on using the diaresis (i.e. umlaut) on the second instance of a double vowel if that second vowel denotes a separate syllable rather than a digraph. If memory servers, The New Yorker magazine uses this style: c.f. google:site:neworker.com+"reënter", for instance.  Similarly, some people of the name Chloe prefer to spell it Chloë to make it clear that the E here is not silent.  -- HTH, Eiríkr Útlendi │ Tala við mig 15:17, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

If there were any doubt about this spelling's existence, I'd say we should cite it, but it's obvious that the Wikipedian who listed this spelling here simply doesn't know what we mean by "verification".

The wine sense. A wine can be said to be "full-bodied", but is it ever said to be "full"?

Talk:tetralemma

Like a dilemma but for lots. Also tetralemma, pentalemma, hexalemma, heptalemma, octalemma, nonalemma, decalemma, icosalemma and probably more to follow. SemperBlotto 21:17, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I created tetra-~deca-, icosa- & myria-lemma; I have examples of use of tetra-~octa-lemma. Nona-, deca-, icosa- and myria-lemma all follow the same logic of prefixing "lemma" with Greek numbers; the total potential number of -lemma words is equal to the number of cardinal numbers (id est, infinite).

 * In terms of usefulness, the smaller number-prefixed lemmata are obviously superior (how often is one likely to be in a situation necessitating the use of "myrialemma" (id est, where one must make the choice between 10,000 equally undesirable courses of action)?). Myrialemma was included to show that any Greek number could prefix "lemma" to give the desired meaning.

 * Is what I have written here sufficient to prevent the deletion of the numerous -lemmata I have created?
 * Doremítzwr 01:18, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

 * No. We don't invent terms and enter them in Wiktionary simply because they are useful, and we don't include terms that "could" exist (viz. "myrialemma"). We enter terms that are actually used. See Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.

 * "Dilemma" and "trilemma" are OK as these exist. If you or someone else can find examples of usage that satisfy the criteria for inclusion, then these terms can stay. If not, they will be deleted. — Paul G 05:40, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

 * tetralemma does seem to exist, but the definition given is wrong. It seems to be something in Eastern philosophies. The rest get vanishingly small Google hits. SemperBlotto 07:28, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Rootz45. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Rootz45~enwiktionary that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:09, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:noun

Trim first definition
Okay, the first definition identifies a noun as "A word that can be used to refer to a person, place, thing, quality, or idea". But under the definition of thing, it states that a thing can be a quality or concept (idea). So, does it really need "quality" and "idea"? Someoneinmyheadbutit'snotme 17:00, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

 * It's reasonable to interpret "person, place, or thing" using the concrete definition of "thing" (the third in the term's entry), so the clarification seems helpful here. Rod (A. Smith) 04:00, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

English definition
"A word that can be used to refer to a person, animal, place, thing, phenomenon, substance, quality, or idea; one of the basic parts of speech in many languages, including English." By that definition it sounds like noun means the same as Latin nomen (in grammar; i.e. substantive, adjective, pronoun, article, numeral), but it should nowadays just mean what's in Latin [nomen] substantivum. -IP, 22:22, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
 * What's with pronouns like "he/she/it", don't they refer to person/things too?
 * What's with adjectives like "green" in e.g. "green wood", don't they to things too?

RFC discussion: March–May 2015
"Sensu lato" definition. Could someone clarify which type of words are nouns in sensu lato but not in sensu stricto? Do they include e.g. pronouns and numerals? Do all adjectives count, as I understand from the Hyponyms-section that "noun adjective" is used here as a synonym to "adjective". I bet the current definition is Gibberish for most English speakers and not only for a poor Finn like me. --Hekaheka (talk) 06:31, 2 March 2015 (UTC) Then it was a copy from adjective (replacing "noun" by "aforenamed word") and noun (s.s.). IMHO already noun (s.s.) isn't explained in a good way (by the definition given one might include pronouns). Thus the explanation of noun (s.l.) can't be good either. -80.133.114.159 10:51, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I think what needs cleaning up is Special:Contributions/93.196.234.31.
 * He is probably getting toward the distinction between noun and nominal. But, in English (evidently not the anon's language) I don't think many use noun when they mean nominal. DCDuring TALK 11:03, 4 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Do you mean that the second sense should be deleted or possibly brought to rfv or even rfd? --Hekaheka (talk) 21:55, 5 March 2015 (UTC)
 * English noun (s.l.) does mean "[noun] substantive or [noun] adjective". Maybe it also means declinable part of speech, but I've never encountered such usage.
 * Also when noun (s.l.) needs a cleanup, so does noun (s.s.): "A word that can be used to refer to a person, animal, place, thing, phenomenon, substance, quality, or idea; [...]" - pronouns can be used to refer to persons, animals etc. too: the human went - he went, the dog barked - it barked.
 * -93.196.237.158 17:43, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I believe Special:Contributions/93.196.234.31 primarily speaks German as this user has been making odd lists like these using several different IPs. The OED says that noun’s use to mean adjective is rare and gives only three 17th C. sources. If by "sensu lato", the user means a noun or the attributive use of a noun, I have never heard such a usage in all my days of linguistics. There is a term noun adjective, which means a noun used as an appositive, but again, I have never encountered it. I believe that these s.l. and s.s. distinctions should be removed in all entries pertaining to English nouns, and that the terms sensu stricto/lato should either be added to or replaced with broadly and narrowly.
 * Also Special:Contributions/93.196.234.31, please make an account. It will make things much easier for everyone. — JohnC5 05:07, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Regarding that list (though it's not the topic here): One could list all those terms (and many other terms with -wort) alphabetically, but I doubt that it's (more) overseeable and (more) user-friendly and not (more) confusing. Maybe there could be a German wikisaurus, but I don't know if that's 'allowed' here...
 * Well, what you believe is something different than what it is. "noun adjective" means the same as "adjective", while "noun substantive" and "substantive" mean the same as "noun (s.s.)". (Or at least "also" mean, as others might have used or more likely misused these term to mean something different.)
 * Labels could be added, and one might changed it to other English terms (like broadly & narrowly or senso lato & senso stricto instead of sensu lato/stricto), but that doesn't really change anything.
 * -80.133.114.159 07:58, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Let's not get into a snark competition here. I fully accept that this distinction (noun & adjective vs. noun) used to exist, as seen in the third paragraph of Wikipedia's noun article, though nominal is now preferred in English linguistics. I would be fine if a word such as rare, obsolete, or antiquated was put in front of the s.s. definition. — JohnC5 08:49, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, it might be rare nowaydays, but is still sometimes used, e.g. in translations of Latin texts, where nomen means noun (s.l.), and in reprints of older books (if that counts, like the exemple with the addition "First Indian Edition"). Also the sensu lato and sensu stricto where change to other (English) words, namely narrow sense and broad sense (or should it be "in the narrow/broad sense?). Better? -80.133.114.159 09:43, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * That's much better. Sorry for the fuss. I'm not sure, however, that I understand what "a word that modifies an aforementioned word or describes an aforementioned word’s referent" is supposed to mean. Does this mean "apposition"? Why is it modifying a previous word? If this means "adjective," it could be clearer. — JohnC5 09:51, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, it originally was this: "A name of a thing. Either a noun substantive, which can stand alone and does not require another word to be joined with it to show its signification, or a noun adjective, which can not stand by itself, but requires to be joined with some other word, in order to make sense.". Which was pretty much a rewording from an old book.

Verb def

 * To convert a word to a noun

Wouldn't "an adjective" instead of "a word" be more specific? Are there any examples of non-adjectives being nouned? ScratchMarshall (talk) 17:55, 25 June 2018 (UTC)
 * The word "compute" is an example of a verb that has been nouned. 70.175.192.217 04:32, 4 September 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Cockney

South East London Cockneys
Southwark is closer to St Mary-le-Bow Cheapside than Mile End or Stepney. Bermondsey and Rotherhithe are opposite Wapping - just on different sides of the river. Not all Cockneys are from The East End, there are Cockneys in South EAST London also. Best wishes, Lion King. —This unsigned comment was added by 84.70.122.35 (talk • contribs) 2006-07-17 00:51:50.

 * I agree completely. A true Cockney is anyone who was born within the sound of the hour bell of the church of St Mary-le-bow which is in Cheapside NOT the East End of London
