Floridi’s Chapter 3: Mathematical Information was an easier read than the previous chapters. Including examples such as John and the Mechanic or the coin toss facilitated the understanding of the Communication Model. Furthermore, Floridi concisely and precisely explained the importance of redundancy in a “codified message.” An increase in data that a message+noise has compared to the original message does not necessarily mean more information is added. Therefore, even though often times redundancy is something that is minimized in “real life,” when codifying a message, it is not much of a problem as “the aim of the communication process is fidelity, the accurate transfer of the original message from the sender to the receiver.”
