Maths: Randomness, axioms of probability, error correcting codes - C C - May 25, 2018

The axioms of probability theory
https://plus.maths.org/content/maths-minute-axioms-probability

EXCERPT: Take a quick trip to the foundations of probability theory.

The maths of randomness
https://plus.maths.org/content/maths-randomness

EXCERPT: Randomness is surprisingly hard to define. Fortunately the mathematical language we use to describe it is beautifully well defined.

- - -

The maths of randomness: universality
https://plus.maths.org/content/maths-randomness-universality

EXCERPT: The second guiding principle in probability theory is more subtle – universality

- - -

The maths of randomness: symmetry
https://plus.maths.org/content/maths-randomness-symmetry

EXCERPT: Symmetry is one of the two guiding principles in understanding probabilities – if different outcomes are equivalent they should have the same probability.

I am not and I am. Square becomes circle because of the point by point singularity and infinity rolled up into Planck diameter. That would demonstrate a truly random system. It is not the spoon that bends it is I who bends.
