The Universality of the Planckian Distribution Equation 369“6x9” b2861 The Cell Language Theory: Connecting Mind and MatterIf Statement (8.18) turns out to be true, the following two corollaries
may follow:The Planckian distribution equation is to the Planck radiation equation
what the Shannon equation is to the Boltzmann–Gibbs equation. (8.19)
The Shannon equation measures DISORDER; the Planckian distribution
equation measures ORDER. (8.20)Table 8.5 A possible relation among entropy, quanta, and information. PRE = Planck
