We present the axiomatic foundation of the Second Law of Information, deriving it from first principles without physical analogies. The law states that a classification problem is learnable if and only if there exists a representation ϕ where ρϕ < 1. We establish two fundamental thresholds: the universal mathematical threshold ρ = 1 (where local structure equals random), and the physical death threshold ρdeath ≈ 1.23 (derived from Ising 3D critical exponents).
| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 0 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Average | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Average | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Average |
