The following video/simulation was an attempt to bridge the gap between information as what we mean to say vs. information as what we could say. I view this as an important stepping stone towards Hartly, Nyquist and Shannon – which I will deal with next. It covers symbols, symbol rate (baud) and message space as an introduction to channel capacity. Featuring the Baudot multiplex system and Thomas Edison’s quadruplex telegraph.
