| Quote | | Information of two disjoint events should be additive. That is, if the word “stuttering” conveys information I1 and “professor” conveys information I2, then “stuttering professor” should convey information I1 + I2. |
To me disjoint events are ones that cannot both happen, so there would be no such thing as a "stuttering professor". In engineering, is "disjoint" often used to mean "independent"? |
A disjointed idea is one that lacks logical continuity or contains irreconcilable contradictions. A non sequitur is a form of disjointed construction.
