The article “Why Trump’s messaging is becoming more extreme, a mathematician explains“, authored by Dorje Brody, has been published in The Conversation (link here). Dorje explains that one can apply the mathematics of communication, which explains our cognitive response to digesting information, to infer the impact of political messages. In particular, one can study how different messages on a given issue combine and interact. This interpretation concerns voters who consume a variety of information sources, as opposed to those confined to an information echo chamber. The theory is applied to interpret recent claims by Donald Trump. The screenshot below is from the front page of the published article.
