> I ran into this particular entry a few months ago while trying to wrap my head around entropy as an information theoretic concept. To be honest, it triggered a cascade of revelation that I had not felt since the last time I took psychedelics.

To be honest, I've tried to wrap my head around entropy a few times (both in information theory and physics), but I've never really understood it well. It's related to but not (completely) the same as a measure of chaos, and it is related to but not the same as the number of potential states- and so on.

Could people direct me to a good introduction/explanation to entropy in an information theory sense? I feel like I'd really enjoy biting into this topic, but I haven't found a good entry point yet
