Is information geometric, or is it fundamentally topological? Information theory is a big, amorphous, multidisciplinary field which brings together mathematics, engineering, and computer science. It studies information, which typically manifests itself mathematically via various flavours of entropy. Another side of information theory is algorithmic information theory, which centers around notions
