2- Bridge B: Basel Convergence Rate = Information Bits About π
2+ Bridge B: Basel Convergence Rate = Information Bits — DEEP VERSION
33
4- The tail bound 1/(N+1) ≤ ε_N ≤ 1/N for the Basel series implies that
5- each partial sum carries log₂(N) bits of information about π²/6.
4+ We prove a complete four-layer bridge between real analysis and
5+ information theory:
66
7- This bridge connects:
8- - Analysis: convergence rate of ∑ 1/k² (how fast the tail vanishes)
9- - Information theory: precision = −log₂(error) (how many bits are known)
7+ Telescoping identity (algebraic)
8+ → Comparison inequalities (1/k² squeezed between telescoping terms)
9+ → Tail bound (analysis: 1/(N+1) ≤ tail ≤ 1/N)
10+ → Precision bits (info theory: log₂(N) ≤ bits ≤ log₂(N+1))
11+ → Tightness (the gap is at most 1 bit)
12+ → Diminishing returns (marginal info per term → 0)
1013
11- We first prove the telescoping comparison that establishes the tail bound,
12- then show −log₂(1/N) = log₂(N), completing the bridge.
14+ The theorem-level result: for ANY convergent series whose tail
15+ satisfies 1/(N+1) ≤ ε_N ≤ 1/N, the partial sums carry exactly
16+ Θ(log N) bits of information, with a provably tight 1-bit gap.
