Entropy is a measure of uncertainty related to the information received by an individual, rather than simply a property of a system or message. It highlights the individual experiences and prior knowledge that affect one's perception of uncertainty. For instance, two individuals may perceive different levels of entropy regarding the same event based on their background knowledge, such as knowing if dice are loaded. Thus, the concept of entropy extends beyond measuring disorder to encompass the bits of information one lacks in fully understanding a state. The discussion also reflects on entropy's use in various fields, emphasizing the challenges of transferring its understanding from physical sciences to information technology, where it can become misleading or overly simplified for complex human and system interactions.
