most people see "A Beautiful Mind" and dont really get the issue. Information is a lot deeper than we think. whether it be the "equal distant letter skip" phenomenon, used in "decoding" the bible, or the reverse speech phenomenon all the rock stars are accused of, there are strange juxtapositions of words and outright whole sentences that seemingly appear out of nowhere.

I dont want to get into a math lecture but I will say this for those of you who aren't so into it. Ive read that the funny thing about information content and how it is measured is the random numbers or data have the most. Its a real problem of course. How can random be informative?

What I've said, and what's probably driven me mad, is that "no information" and "saturation" can be the same thing. The keep phrase there is "can be". It's not empirical. It does not happen all the time. Which is probably why our ancestors, who may have recognized the phenomenon perhaps in their own way, chose to attribute it, when it occured, to greater beings.

Of Course no one ever is going to come forward and say their sacred texts were written through the use of a random process, and its probably my paranoia to even suggest such a thing. Some people though may have more "control" over it. Or lack of depending on how you look at it.

So what we got is one schizo saying another isn't nuts
