Information processing in biological systems, Ilya Nemenman

IN use probabilistic model for information processing.

w --> P(r|w) --> r --
^----------------------|

Information is not context free.

IN uses variability S[w] in his model. 

$S$ seems to stand for entropy. 

With probabilistic assumptions, IN can write down models explicitly.
