I want to treat information
as a physical quantity.

I am a first-year physics student working toward research in information theory — the mathematics of entropy, coding, and communication, and the question of what it physically costs to know something.

Philosophy

A bit is not an abstraction — it is something the universe keeps count of.

What draws me to information theory is that it sits exactly where mathematics touches the physical world. Entropy began as a statement about steam engines and ended up describing messages, measurements, and memory. I want to understand that bridge from both sides: as a physicist who asks what information costs, and as a mathematician who asks what its limits are.

My working philosophy is simple. Start from what an observer can actually measure. Write the question in the smallest honest language it allows. Then look for the quantity that refuses to change — the invariant is usually where the physics lives.

I am at the beginning: a first year spent building foundations in mechanics, analysis, and probability, deliberately and without hurry. This site is the notebook I keep along the way.
