Shannon, who died in 2001. His "Mathematical Theory of Communication" is the fundament of the digital machine. It's a communication based on the functions ON and OFF. In this special case the observers are supposed to push the ON button. After a while the lid of the trunk opens, a hand comes out and turns off the machine. The trunk closes - that's it!.</FONT></TD></TR><TR><TD width="100%" colspan="2"><FONT size="1"><IMG width="856" height="582" src="http://www.kugelbahn.ch/ONOFF_1.JPG" /> </FONT></TD></TR><TR><TD width="100%" colspan="2"><IMG width="856" height="545" src="http://www.kugelbahn.ch/ONOFF_4.JPG" /></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><DIV id="Clipmarks1816BorderDiv8575"></DIV><DIV id="Clipmarks2245BorderDiv1092"></DIV><DIV id="Clipmarks3689BorderDiv6625"></DIV><DIV id="Clipmarks4254BorderDiv4123"></DIV></BODY></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FF5FC989-0DDF-4DE4-90F6-A92CC5751C72/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
