{{w|Gregory Bateson}} has this to say about redundancy in his article ''Style, Grace, and Information in Primitive Art'':

Gregory Bateson has this to say about redundancy in his article "Style, Grace, and Information in Primitive Art":

''Any aggregate of events or objects (e.g., a sequence of phonemes, a painting, or a frog, or a culture) shall be said to contain "redundancy" or "pattern" if the aggregate can be divided in any way by a "slash mark," such that an observer perceiving only what is on one side of the slash mark can'' guess'', with better than random success, what is on the other side of the slash mark. We may say that what is on one side of the slash contains'' information ''or has'' meaning ''about what is on the other side. Or, in engineer's language, the aggregate contains "redundancy."''

Line 57:

* matching timbre to tuning

** the reverse of the above: making a timbre (usually with a computer) to "match" a stipulated tuning
