Figure 5. Entropy of the estimated probability distribution over clocks for two Nomon applications.
Entropy is shown as a function of clicks remaining to selection. Each solid line represents a single selection process. Dotted lines decreasing to zero at respective rates of (lower) and
(upper) bits per click are illustrated for reference. Left: 25 selections on the Nomon Keyboard: 30 clocks, non-trivial prior
, clock period
seconds, switch input from joystick button. Right: 25 selections on another Nomon application: 401 clocks, uniform prior
, clock period
seconds, switch input from space bar. Data was generated by the experienced user (TB).
