Renyi entropy, and why this discovery is huge, are the whole cipher / counter cipher structure of modern "Crypto." If we (for a moment) hypothesis that math, itself, is an artiface of culture...then, we see that Lofti Zadeh (thank him for the 'net) and Bart Kosko's math model of the hypercube are still the best proofs.

Eg, to a large degree, Yitang Zhang validated both gentleman's work immensely, as Bart, in particular, first proved that the whole 100% of "Probability," is in fact a subset of continuum theory, aka, Fuzzy Logic. It's the "Probability and the hypercube," model, put forth in Kosk's 90's book. Fascinating reading.

Of course, it could be that, the model is too simple, to elegant to "fly," as we Americans like complex stuff that is far, far out of reach of lay people. It's an academic bias that I, with no degree holding family, simply do not share or partake in. Truly breakthrough discovery can, and does, happen in a lot of places.

One simply needs to know where to look.
