In this course

Warren Weaver was a mathematician and theorist who co-edited Shannon's foundational *Mathematical Theory of Communication* (1949), establishing the formal framework for modern information theory that underpins contemporary understandings of signal transmission and noise. In these readings, Weaver appears as a critical figure in extending Shannon's technical work toward philosophical questions about meaning and semantics, suggesting that communication theory carries implications beyond engineering into philosophy of mind and consciousness. His work thus grounds the course's investigation of how mathematical models of information became cultural and artistic concepts.
