from Dr Dick's paper:
"If there is information implicitly embedded in the data, it must be presumed that there are patterns of data which are possible and patterns of data which are not possible."

this statement throws me a bit, a clarification would be appreciated. i saw the footnote about if all things are allowed there are no rules.
