Could White Noise Be Used As A Carrier For Complex Information?

Question

In this Case, Given the Chaotic nature of true white noise, how could two systems communicate using white noise as a carrier.

Given that both systems would probably never coincide and therefore never be able to communicate.

Only two systems in which the white noise carrier is the same for the transmitter as it is for the receiver could communicate.

I tend to think that nature, quantum systems, biological systems use white noise as the carrier which is modulated by information.

Don't get me wrong, I am not talking radio technology here, but more like a statistical mathematical algorithm.

Therefore, only two systems which happen to coincide could communicate. Maybe this is what happens in complex biological neural systems and complex quantum states, this would also explain why such states cannot last forever as the coincidence cannot last forever.

I see this from a purely statistical mathematical perspective.

Answer 1

Actually, this is one of the more interesting proposals I've come across in Yahoo! Answers. It might interest you to know that signals with maximum Shannon Entropy, which is another way of saying maximum data compression, or maximum data per sent bit, resembles white noise. In other words, unless we knew the encoding-decoding systems, we wouldn't ever be able to distinguish a message being sent in this fashion from just meaningless static. How this can be applied to "quantum information" is worth a thought, but I haven't figured it out yet. As for biology, well, I'm not a biologist.

Answer 2

You seem to be rolling a lot of different unrelated concepts into one post. Communications systems are man-made and cannot use white-noise because the carrier must be known apriori. In fact, carrier signals are not necessary when the system is digital.

Other systems, for example biological, don't use carrier signals because they are unnecessary. Consider the act of speaking, there is no carrier signal, just a medium (air) that allows for the transmission of a mechanical wave. Neurons communicate through the passing of neurotransmitters through the synaptic junctions. Again, no carrier signal.

Answer 3

taken literally white noise cannot carry / transfer information but the absence and reapperance of it can - you then have two states and a binary system !

Answer 4

are you usually this retarded or trying to make an impression? :)
