There is always a possibility of loss in information and meaning during any communication process. What it is called ?
Entropy
In communication theory, especially in the information theory of Shannon and Weaver, entropy refers to the tendency of a message to lose information, order and meaning as it passes from the sender to the receiver. Noise, distance, poor encoding and wrong decoding all add to this loss, so the message received is never exactly the same as the message sent.
The stem describes a constant possibility of loss of information and meaning in every communication process. This is exactly the idea of entropy, the measure of disorder or uncertainty in a message. To reduce entropy, communicators use redundancy, that is repetition and extra cues, and they seek feedback, so that the receiver can recover the intended meaning despite the losses.
Atrophy is a biological term for the wasting away of a body part or tissue. Canopy is the upper layer formed by tree crowns in a forest, or a covering overhead. Enthalpy is a thermodynamic quantity that measures the total heat content of a system. None of these terms describes the loss of meaning in a message.
Hence, Entropy.
