   6# INFO-001: Shannon Entropy from J-Cost
   7
   8**Target**: Derive Shannon entropy from Recognition Science's J-cost structure.
   9
  10## Core Insight
  11
  12Shannon entropy H = -Σ p_i log(p_i) is the fundamental measure of information.
  13It quantifies uncertainty, compression limits, and channel capacity.
  14
  15In RS, Shannon entropy emerges from **J-cost over probability distributions**:
  16
  171. **J-cost measures recognition effort**: J(x) = ½(x + 1/x) - 1
  182. **Applied to probability ratios**: Each probability p_i has an information cost
  193. **Total cost minimization**: The optimal encoding minimizes total J-cost
  204. **Shannon emerges**: This gives H = -Σ p_i log(p_i)
  21
  22## The Derivation
  23
  24The key insight: information is about **deviation from uniform distribution**.
  25
  26For a probability distribution {p_1, ..., p_n} with n outcomes:
  27- Uniform: p_i = 1/n for all i → maximum entropy
  28- Non-uniform: some p_i ≠ 1/n → lower entropy
  29- Entropy measures "distance from uniform" (in a sense)

 183
 184/-- In RS, Shannon entropy measures **recognition cost**:
 185
 186    1. Each outcome has a recognition cost proportional to -log(p)
 187    2. Rare outcomes cost more to "recognize" (encode)
 188    3. Total expected cost is Σ p_i × (-log p_i) = entropy
 189    4. Optimal encoding minimizes expected recognition cost
 190
 191    This explains why entropy is the fundamental limit! -/

 194    -- Optimal code length ≈ -log(p) (Shannon coding theorem)
 195    True := trivial
 196
