Shannon theory links compression to

Short summary

Shannon's theory frames compression as intelligence—the more data you compress, the more you've captured its essential structure. This 32-minute video visualizes entropy, information content, and language compressibility through animations, proofs, and original Shannon papers from the 1940s–50s. Foundational for understanding how neural networks achieve intelligence through pattern compression and data efficiency.
