Just as Shannon’s information theory demonstrated that information can always be corrected and retransmitted until it is perfectly received, the negative binomial distribution illustrates that repeated trials will eventually lead to success. Both concepts share the fundamental principle that errors or failures can be overcome through iteration, ultimately converging to the correct outcome. This idea extends beyond communication theory to fields like machine learning and decision-making. If future advancements eliminate physical constraints, information could be refined infinitely, leading to a world where perfect transmission and reproduction become reality.
