Eric Holloway: Honest Questions on Information Theory

Yeah, I know. Except we’ve shown that it is, in practice, not possible to compute this probability distribution (Predictability Problems in Physics). Admittedly this is for physics rather than biology, but biology is more complex. Eventually, I’ll get around to showing you what ASC is actually telling us, and how we are applying things like it to understand biology. When I have the time, it will clarify how it doing something very different than “design detection”.

Moreover, even when you are computing FI, you are not computing it correctly (Computing the Functional Information in Cancer). This thread on cancer was just for you @EricMH. I make immediate sense to the physicists, and they can follow my math. It also clarifies the error being made in Durston’s work, and the rest of the ID literature with an example. I hope you can look at that closely and understand it.
