SNR is an energy ratio and other units

Shannon is fundamental

In the old system they had what was called a Hamiltonian, which is the sum of all energies in a system. In the new system that is the complete sequence and is the sum of all phase variance in the system. Phase variance is energy.

In the old system, mass was a carrier of energy. In the complete sequence, the quant is the carrier of phase variance.  We can take it from there. Mass is the quant, the Higgs has the biggest quant. The quant is the log of energy, via Shannon.

The Pauli rate is the smallest step size that enforces simultaneity between quants.  Nyquist is the minimum computation step we need to enforce Pauli, which is true in any operation.

This model pre-quantizes before we even start, Shannon does that.  Shannon pre-quantizes any system before you apply the laws of energy, whether you are washing the dishes or cooling the universe, we start with the quants, and go from there. We can do this because Shannon is the maximum entropy scale system, it is fundamental and there is no better quantizer. If you are doing the dishes, the frying pan is the biggest quant for a good reason. We humans automatically quantize the kitchen, it is the maximum entropy system designed to get things done with the fewest number of steps; kitchen work is serialized, nothing is simultaneous. The unit of mass in hay farming is the bale, hay farmers using the bail take the fewest number of steps.
