Abstract
We discuss the problem of the classification of continuous‐amplitude stochastic signals by their variety. It is shown in this context that continuous Gaussian processes must be characterized by three parameters which are intimately related to the ability of the process to carry information. Finally, conservation laws for the variety of stochastic signals under feedback are given, and the relation of variance and variety is discussed.
