Mmh, no it doesn't. You need to define your state space, otherwise it's an undefined quantity.

But it is possible to account for the unforseen (or out-of-vocabulary) by, for example, a Good-Turing estimate. This satisfies your demand for a fully defined state space while also being consistent with GP's definition.

You are referring to the conceptual device you believe bongs to you and your equations. Entropy creates attraction and repulsion, even causing working bias. We rely upon it for our system functions.

Undefined is uncertainty is entropic.

Entropy is a measure, it doesn't create anything. This is highly misleading.
