source and destination
there is a lot that can go wrong in conversation. whether there are external or internal factors influencing the source or the destination, or disturbance in the medium in which the exchange takes place, the sender and receiver hardly ever are talking about the same thing.
both the encoding and decoding have to be very precise to create the base for somewhat mutual understanding.
the work investigates how (small disturbances in) the means of communication can gradually modify a defined message into a string of signals lacking information.
