Pursuing a suggestion of E.T. Jaynes of 1991, the innovation is in treating economic behavior as chance events of selection. This involves the abandonment and trade-in of mainstream economics for the mathematics Claude E. Shannon used to describe information transport over a stationary channel. As economic processes are non-stationary, the author clarifies first how the Shannon-system must be reshaped in a system capa. ER -
