"Information theory, then, is mainly concerned with the problems of how to get a message, coded as a signal, through a noisy channel"

Ross,
To me this thought could have equal meaning in KM as we apply a similar principle, through conversation, to knowledge, in hopes of developing deeper shared meaning. We are using more symbols and other forms of information in what would appear to many as a redundant pattern in an attempt to test for shared meaning of the group. Therefore, the probability of shared meaning is developing through less new information.

Does this thought have any merit?
Tom
