クロード・シャノンの「エントロピー」についての考え方は、間違いであったというBenoit Mandelbrot の言葉“Everyone knows that Shannon’s derivation is in error.”

そうか、やっぱり間違っていたのかと、納得してよいでしょうか。いわしで自由にひと言お願いします。

In April 1961, Tribus gave a seminar at MIT on a new way to derive thermodynamics based on information theory. He states that a critical audience, comprised of students of American mechanical engineer Joseph Keenan, founder of the MIT school of thermodynamics, “tried to rip it apart”. Moreover, French mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot was in the audience and quickly attacked the MaxEnt interpretation, saying:

“Everyone knows that Shannon’s derivation is in error.”

Beyond this, it happened that Shannon was in residence at MIT that week, so Tribus went to see him. Shannon, according to Tribus, “was immediately able to dispel Mandelbrot’s criticism, but went on to lecture me on his misgivings about using his definition of entropy for applications beyond communication channels.” [1]
