LingEQ's new linguistic entropy study finds that Claude Shannon's information theory paper scores higher cognitive density than any AI paper in 90 years. Turing's 1936 and 1950 works follow, while GPT-3, AlphaFold, and DeepSeek-R1 cluster at 168-170, revealing a decline in original conceptual framing in AI breakthroughs.
