Quantum numbers and information channels for atomic physics

The information channel view of the atom is a channel that encodes joint entropy between the some observer particle and the atom structure itself. If we view it so, then the three quantum classes act as independent sub channels.  The solution is the encoding of the three sub channels that maximizes mutual entropy among them.  My guess is that using this Shannon channel approach will distribute the charge, angular momentum and magnetic moments such as to fill orbits appropriately.

Note, this is different from the quantum wave view, the channel view is only valid then there is an observer particle, and says nothing about the case when no observer particle is present.  The Schrodinger solution, in this case, is created from a set of viewing of the atom, composing the 3 dimensional wave distribution from the set of views.  So, if this approach proves out, then we have a kind of finite element approximation to the schrodinger solutions.
