Abstract

A communication act divides a certain population into three classes: destination, excluded and indifferent people. The goal of the source is the message to be received by all addressees and by no excluded ones. Therefore, the efficiency of a communication act is proportionally to the reunion between the addressees who receive the message and the excluded who do not receive it. The source can increase the efficiency degree through the channel and the code used for sending messages. However, there is no way to certainly achieve the maximum efficiency of our communication acts.
