Quote | Dembski's information concept also has difficulties (Shallit and Elsberry 2004, Elsberry and Shallit 2011). It is unable to adequately distinguish the level of surprise in an outcome of 200 heads in a row and an outcome of 180 heads mixed with 20 tails. Both are equally likely with inline image. While both might exhibit CSI, the first outcome would be considered a far greater surprise than the second. Once it becomes clear that the deficiency in randomness is a better measure of D-information than the one used by Dembski, the meaning of the so-called fourth law emerges. Instead of the quantifying the amount of D-information in string inline image by inline image, a modified measure inline image is taken to be inline image. The D-information contained in inline image becomes the number of bits separating the ordered string from a random or typical one. This makes sense as more highly ordered strings embody more D-information. |
Dembski's information concept = Dembski information?
