Noise is defined as anything added to a signal between the transmission and reception, so any thing that disrupts the signal..
Redundancy which is predictable or conventional information which is usefull in creating a common ground for communication. This means that things such as 'hello' or a wave is totally predictable but opens up a way of conversating
Entropy (entropic information) is the opposite, therefore its unpredictable information and useful because it shows new information also useful because it gives new information, e.g: 'i broke your lamp', NOT predictable but usefull
According to Shannon and Weaver- communication cant take place without some level of both redundant and entropic information, therefore one extreme or the other would not work.
HOWEVER, there are 2 flaws with this model..
•it focuses on the process rather than the actual information/meaning
•it doesnt account for feedback processes
The whole idea of a feedback loop is... 'Something happens, something happens as a result of that thing happening, the new happening modifies the original happening, the something happens again'
