Explain another abstract quantity by giving its inputs and outputs consistent colors across code lists, equations and charts. Pair a simple comparison diagram with a plotted mathematical relationship, then reuse that visual vocabulary in a real-world example. Keep backgrounds sparse and reserve character illustrations or portrait cutouts for contextual sections.

A mathematical explainer connects random noise and compression with information measured as −log₂(p), using probability examples and plotted curves.
- Color
- Black backgrounds with cyan and teal lines, green accents, and occasional magenta, orange, and white.
- Type
- Refined serif-style mathematical lettering paired with small sans-serif graph labels and equations.
- Framing
- Sparse, high-contrast diagrams and equations sit beside or above charts, with generous black negative space.
- Structure
- The visible graphics progress from a random-noise illustration and probability bars to logarithmic information curves, marked probability values, and vertical measures of information.
