This posits a very mechanistic view of human cognition, assuming that the emergent parts of our thoughts can we reduced to discrete or continuous numbers. Thoughts, information, knowledge are probably both continuous and discrete at the same time. Cognition is a biologically emergent process, not a number manipulation exercise. To that end Shannon’s theory of information needs an overhaul.
