Claude shannon and warren weaver (cid:862)the mathe(cid:373)ati(cid:272)al theory of co(cid:373)(cid:373)u(cid:374)i(cid:272)atio(cid:374)(cid:863) The assertion that knowledge is derived from sense experience. A model of communication that depicts the communication process as the transmission of data from sender to receiver. It is largely derived from the field of engineering. It is asso(cid:272)iated (cid:449)ith ha(cid:374)(cid:374)o(cid:374) a(cid:374)d wea(cid:448)er"s (cid:449)ork. From the greek word denoti(cid:374)g the (cid:862)art of steeri(cid:374)g(cid:863) or (cid:862)(cid:374)a(cid:448)igatio(cid:374)(cid:863) nor(cid:271)ert wei(cid:374)er (cid:272)oi(cid:374)ed the term to denote the interdisciplinary study of complex, interconnected organisms and organizational systems. 3: technical/engineering: how accurately and efficiently can information be transmitted, philosophical/semantic: how precisely do the transmitted signals convey a desired meaning, behavioral: how effectively does the meaning effect the conduct of the receiver. Good communication in this model depends upon: the condition and capacity of the channel through which communication occurs, the influence of noise from the general environment, the amount of redundancy in the message itself.
