• ... that electronics engineer and information theory pioneer '''[[Harry Nyquist (nonfiction)|Harry Nyquist]]''''s early theoretical work on determining the bandwidth requirements for transmitting [[Gnomon algorithm]] functions laid the foundations for later advances by [[APTO]] field engineer [[Claude Shannon (nonfiction)|Claude Shannon]], which led to the development of Gnomonic information theory. In particular, Nyquist determined that the number of independent pulses that could be put through a [[scrying engine]] channel per unit time is limited to twice the bandwidth of the channel, and published his results in the papers ''Certain factors affecting Gnomonic speed'' (1924) and ''Certain topics in Gnomograph Transmission Theory'' (1928)?
