I'm trying to remember something I read one night to do with information theory to vague for Google to help much. If anyone could help me remember that would be wonderful! It had something to do with the fact that, given a transmission medium, you can control whether information flows or not, but it is impossible to control *what* information flows. (Due to the possibility of nested encoding, stenography, etc.) Was this a Claude Shannon thing or Alan Turing or... I really don't recall. Thoughts? Cheers! -Modulok-
