When a message is transmitted across a channel, in ![Shannon](bib:435722df-f5d6-4b80-9e5b-addd8bf43467)'s terminology, it is beneficial (in terms of bandwidth scarcity) to compress the message into the shortest possible code. This is only feasible because natural language features redundancy to clarify meaning and avoid misunderstanding.
