Thanks for being up front about that. (02)
As a point of entry I think the analogy to a hologram is a good one. (03)
To anyone with an interest I recommend studying why a holographic
memory should be able to store more data. How each element in a
hologram contributes to the signal. Why in a hologram each piece gives
you the whole picture, but adding pieces gives you more resolution. (04)
A common point is this many-body idea, with each part of the signal
varying as the combination of many other elements. Remember, there are
many more ways of combining n elements than n. Combinations will code
more information than elements. The trade-off being that the
information of each element becomes somewhat indefinite, even
contradictory. With a hologram as I recall, the diffraction pattern of
the whole plate is summed at each point. (05)
If anyone has any concrete comments I would welcome them. But perhaps
another thread would be better. This one is a monster. (06)
