More vectors. You know, like, [lists of numbers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vector_(mathematics_and_physics))? Looking back over the archives, I find myself _mortified_ at how much time I've _wasted_ writing about things that _aren't math_.

Maybe I should just delete it all to spare myself the embarrassment. In any case, this is an information-theory fanblog now! Gender?—I barely _know_ her. + +Let _V_ be a random variable over the sample space {0,1}20, the twenty-dimensional space of binary vectors, and suppose that P(V = [0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]) = ½, P(V = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]), and P(_V_ = _v_) = 0 for all other _v_ ∈ {0,1}20. +
