To be fair I think information entropy is more self descriptive than Shannon entropy

Corporate has asked you to find the differences between these two pictures.

  • They're two names which references the same concept, but Shannon entropy is not the only type of entropy. I mean maybe everything really is just Shannon entropy if you look deep enough and have a sufficiently powerful model of physics but we're not there today.

    • I'm meaning the term "information entropy". Both of those words are generally used interchangeably to mean the same thing (to include the different forms of entropy, as I understand it. :')))) ) <3 :'))))
