From my perspective (IT) randomness is dependant on the size and content of the dataset. Numbers, alpha characters, colors. Too small and it can be calculated to a percentage of chance. Rather than using 'random' because simply put if we tell a computer to generate a 'random' string, it can actually be predicted to some degree. Instead we use entropy.....
enjoy that rabbit hole!

How do you use a property with the units of energy per mass-temperature to model a data set?
I understand entropy in a physical sense in terms of lowering it with work input but don't see the connection here with a computer data set.
