arXiv:physics/9611022 release notes

These are notes on changes to the working version of physics/9611022 at hcapbits which were posted after revision 2 was put into the archives. If you want to be able to formally cite material in the working draft but not yet on the archives, let me know and I'll see about updating the archived version. Earlier versions will remain available on the archives regardless.
Date Update
09 Jan 2003 added section IV-B-4 on the MaxEnt definition of net surprisal (a measure that's been around for a while in specific instances e.g. Morowitz used a form of it in one of his books, even though it's not familiar from most introductory courses in spite of its simplicity)
20 Jan 2003 added Appendix A on a non-energy application of max-ent that touches on familiar ground for most students and teachers, along with a figure therein. Appendix B on mutual information and max-ent is in the works.
22 Jan 2003 added a sentence in V-B on Grosse et al's comments about the utility of intra-molecule mutual-information measures in their paper on coding/non-coding DNA
23 Jan 2003 skeletal draft (no worked examples yet) of Appendix B on the basics of mutual information.
25 Jan 2003 Abstract update, expanded discussion of the history of invention list in section VII, updates to section V-B on mutual information (esp. the connection between 2nd law assertions and mutual information) using notation from Appendix B, plus a first round of changes throughout (there are more to come) thanks to comments provided by Tom Schneider.
26 Jan 2003 Added a RevTeX table of contents, an ice water invention paragraph in section IV-B-4 on the thermodynamic utility of net surprisal, and updated the acknowledgements.
27 Jan 2003 Updated figures 5 and 6, to correspond the ``source version'' of those figures on the hcapbits webpage, and submitted the version 3 final to arXiv.
02 Feb 2003 Updated the conclusions (with a maxent synthesis of 2nd law and uncertainty slope results), the acknowledgements, and added a reference.
03 Feb 2003 Added a redirect paragraph in the introduction, to protect life sciences readers from the difficult parts until they have an idea why they might want to dive in.
