Appendix ENT — Limit Structures in Information Theory and Entropy

Appendix ENT records a structural boundary log of where information theory and entropy remain fully operational—and where their presuppositions diverge from the observational structure assumed in Dualbind. This text does not introduce a new theoretical system, does not use information theory to justify Dualbind, and does not attempt to integrate, connect, or reduce the two frameworks. Its aim is to make explicit the domain in which their scopes do not coincide. The discussion is organized around: the formal character of entropy in Shannon-style information theory; the non-identity of information and meaning; the treatment of the observing subject as an external condition; and the scope of the principle of maximum entropy as a method of selection rather than a definition of truth or reality. Accordingly, Dualbind does not focus on the magnitude of information or optimal coding, but on where meaning-operations are halted, retained, or exposed—that is, the boundary conditions under which meaning becomes inoperable. The conclusion is intentionally non-conclusive: the difference is not a conflict, but a boundary condition where the two scopes do not coincide.
