Set Shaping Theory
In this article, we will introduce set shaping theory a new and promising method of data compression. The purpose of this method is the encoding of the message in the absence of information on the source that generated it. This method uses a new class of function that transform the sequence to be encoded into a new sequence of greater length. This Operation is called “shaping of the source” and the difference in length between the initial message and the transformed one is called the “shaping order of the source”.

What Is Information Theory? (A Beginner's Guide)
Information theory is a branch of mathematics that deals with the quantification, storage, and communication of information. The theory was first developed by Claude Shannon in the 1948 paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication". The central concept in information theory is entropy, which measures the amount of information that is contained in a message. Shannon's entropy formula quantifies the information content of a message as a function of its length and the number of possible symbols that can be used to represent it.The basic principles of information theory are entropy, redundancy, and noise. Entropy is a measure of the amount of information in a system. Redundancy is a measure of the amount of information that is unnecessary or duplicative. Noise is a measure of the amount of information that is random or meaningless.
