Thanks for reading! Including examples is a great point, because otherwise the article can be kind of abstract, especially because each person has a different mental model of data. I'll add some later on.

Maybe thermodynamics is a hammer that makes all things seem like nails, but the connections pop up all over the place. Entropy is another highly applicable concept to data systems.
