# Information
## Microsim To Do — 150 priority articles
These are the 150 articles selected from the Information sheet as the **coolest, easiest, most interactive** candidates to ship as microsims first. They are grouped by the Information patterns from P5 JS EDITOR §10 (Pattern E — [[Entropy|entropy]] meters; Pattern F — compression and transform algorithms; Pattern N — stochastic models and automata; channel capacity; cryptography), with explicit groups for error correction, algorithmic information theory, Shannon's foundational theorems, units of information, modern compressors, and pioneers. Each item links to its (future) Obsidian page; the corresponding microsim is saved to the same slug in the p5.js Web Editor. As microsims ship, check the row.
*Slug note:* where Wikipedia uses URL-encoded characters (e.g., `Lempel%E2%80%93Ziv%E2%80%93Welch`, `Kullback%E2%80%93Leibler_divergence`), the Obsidian page uses the human-readable form. The spreadsheet retains URL-encoded slugs for outbound web links.

**Total:** 150 articles · Pattern E (entropy measures): 16 · Pattern F (entropy coding): 16 · Pattern F (LZ family): 12 · Pattern F (transform): 8 · Channel/noise: 12 · Pattern N (stochastic/automata): 12 · Cryptography: 16 · Random/PRNG: 6 · Error correction: 8 · Algorithmic info: 6 · Foundational theorems: 10 · Units: 8 · Image/audio coding: 8 · Modern compressors: 8 · Pioneers: 4
**Cross-room overlap:** ~30 picks. The 8 image/audio/video coding articles crossover with Audio §8 (FFT, MDCT, audio codecs), Visualization §11 (color space, pixel, quantization), and Telecom §9 (sampling, modulation). The 16 entropy-coding picks compose Visualization §11's `chart_frame.js` for live distribution displays. The 12 channel-capacity picks share the Shannon-Hartley curve with Telecom's modulation-vs-capacity microsims. The 16 cryptography picks consume Engineering §12's `block_diagram.js` for round-by-round AES and Pattern N's rotor-graph engine for Enigma. The 12 stochastic / automata picks export `fsm_renderer.js` and `markov_chain.js` to Telecom (protocol ladders), [[Robotics]] (planning graphs), and Engineering ([[Software_engineering]] FSMs).

> Information is an abstract concept that refers to something which has the power to inform. At the most fundamental level, it pertains to the interpretation (perhaps formally) of that which may be sensed, or their abstractions. ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information))
<!-- REAL-GENERATIVE-MEDIA:END -->
The **I** in GENERATIVE.
The Information room covers Shannon information theory, source and channel coding, compression algorithms, error correction, finite-state machines and Markov chains, cryptography, and the algorithmic-[[Complexity|complexity]] / Kolmogorov view — 1,735 article rows in the Information sheet of `Real G.E.N.E.R.A.T.I.V.E.xlsx`, organized under three parent hubs (Information, Information_theory, Information_history). Editor conventions for Information sketches are documented in section 10 of P5 JS EDITOR; reference textbooks are catalogued in information textbooks. Information is a **producer room** for `entropy_meter.js`, `fsm_renderer.js`, `markov_chain.js`, and `bigint.js`, and a **consumer** of Visualization's `chart_frame.js` / `glyphs.js` and [[Engineering]]'s `block_diagram.js`.
