REDUNDANCY (Spreading of) 1)
← Back
G. BATESON states that redundancy is not only something perceived and helpful to the receiver of a message.
"In a wider universe, i.e., that defined by the point of view of the observer, this no longer appears as a 'transmission' of information but rather as a spreading of redundancy… The activities of A (the sender) and B (the receiver) have combined to make the universe of the observer more predictable, more ordered and more redundant" (1973, p. 383).
There is however again a condition: The observer must know A and B's codes.
