This analysis explores the dynamics of communication within mathematical physics, emphasizing the interplay between isolation and integration. It addresses how senders and recipients utilize vocabulary and way-finding instructions to maximize intelligibility and minimize uncertainty. Emphasizing the concepts of redundancy and entropy, the work investigates how communication can resemble an epidemic process, reflecting on social behavior, information spreading, and the balance between structural intelligibility and economic efficiency in conveying complex ideas.

Our hypotheses: MatematischePhysik AG Communication is the process of solving the double unification-diversification conflict by using a cooperative strategy resulted in informational certainty and structural intelligibility. In a large scale, communication might be considered as an epidemic process.
