 197/-- **THEOREM (Source Coding Theorem)**: No lossless compression can do better
 198    than H bits per symbol on average. This is because entropy is the
 199    irreducible recognition cost. -/

 206/-- Examples of entropy in physics:
 207    - Thermodynamic entropy S = k_B × Shannon entropy

 227
 228/-- The Shannon-from-J-cost derivation would be falsified by:
 229    1. Compression below entropy (violates source coding)
 230    2. Communication above capacity (violates channel coding)
