I've done a bit of research -- the Pike incident involved Baudrillard, not Derrida.

All that proves is that Baudrillard's message is invariant under Markov chains. I'd like see a mathematician produce an argument of such fine structure.
In other words, contains 0 bits of information?
Pike's comment at the beginning of the Markovified text is brilliant:
> For those unfamiliar with M. Baudrillard's work, the thesis of the essay is, in a nutshell, that reality is indistinguishable from good simulation.
