rev. howard arson @theophite.bsky.social · 30/09/2026does "conceptual information" have mutual entropy with the distribution of correct answers or not. if it does, you're wrong. if it doesn't, you're irrelevant. 110
Boxo McFoxo @boxobark.ing · 30/09/2026That is a category error. Correlation is not comprehension. Conceptual information requires comprehension to access. It is inaccessible through correlation alone. 220
rev. howard arson @theophite.bsky.social · 30/09/2026right so you're not talking about anything which can be quantified. you are talking about an abstract label which floats outside mathematics and distinguishes two things which implement the same function from each other. 150
Boxo McFoxo @boxobark.ing · 30/09/2026You can sometimes operationalise conceptual information into a structure, which is what we do when we build computers with physical circuits; it is how a CPU does arithmetic without having the conceptual information. But that is not done in this process. 120
