Swimming

Light, thank you. Don’t go. Stay. Light. Warmth. Read. Light. The water was tranquil and the sky clear. N i.i.d. random variables each with entropy H(X) can be compressed into more than N H(X) bits with negligible risk of information loss it’s happening again. Confusion. Soon I will be lost again. I am in here. Light. A labyrinth of words and information. Don’t stop as N tends to infinity; but conversely, if they are compressed into fewer than N H(X). Light. Keep moving. Thoughts. Light. There are algae and roots. The air is fusty. as N tends to infinity; but conversely, if they are compressed into fewer than N H(X) light. Light. The water was dappled in lambent gold. Light, thank you. Don’t go. Stay. Warmth. But virtually certain that information will be lost algae and roots. Σ1, Σ2 denote two finite alphabets and let and denote the I’m losing you. The dark. I need the light. Light. There must be light and movement. Keep moving. Don’t go back. Keep moving forward. The water calcified. The mud coagulated. The moonlight cut a path across the sea. X is an i.i.d. source, its time series X1, ..., Xn is i.i.d. with entropy H(X) in the discrete-valued case and differential entropy in the continuous-valued case. Light, thank you. Heavy. Dark. Cold. Light. Keep going. Movement. Do not stop. I am in here. Trapped. Thoughts. Fix some ε > 0. The typical set, is defined as follows sardines, anchovy, cod, clownfish, halibut, sharks and barracuda and jellyfish, sea anemones, ctenophore, sea worms, platyhelminthes, nemertea, annelida, sipuncula, echiura, chaetognatha, phoronida, mollusca, shellfish, squid, octopus arthropod chelicerata, crustacean, porifera, bryozoa, starfish, urochordata, sea squirts and tunicates. The encoding algorithm: The encoder checks if the input sequence lies within the typical set; if yes, it outputs the index of the input sequence within the typical set; if not, the encoder outputs an arbitrary digit number. As long as the input sequence lies within the typical set The encoding algorithm: The encoder checks if the input sequence lies within the typical set; if yes, it outputs the index of the input sequence within the typical set; if not, the encoder outputs an arbitrary digit number. As long as the input sequence lies within the typical set information loss it’s happening again. Confusion. Soon I will be lost again. I am in here. Light. It is a labyrinth. A labyrinth of words and information and thoughts. Thought. Gulls, sea turtles, albatross, penguins, gannets, auks and seasnakes, terrapins, the marine iguana, and the saltwater crocodile. I cramped. The weight was too much, I could not breathe. The eighth wave turned me around. The ninth took me down. The water calcified. The mud coagulated. I couldn’t move. The ground crawled upon me. The algae crawled upon my shoes and up my legs. I couldn’t move. The algae appeared around my arms. The algae grew. The algae covered my legs and spread up my belly and over to the chest. The algae clogged my eyes, clogged my ears, clogged my nostrils, clogged my mouth. My teeth turned to roots. The hair in my nostrils and ears turned to roots, white and purple. The sea had me. I was the sea and the sea was me. I dissolved. Only thoughts. Thought. Don’t go. Go. Don’t go. Go. Darkness. Cold. Darkness. The blackness of
