Abstract: Abstract This chapter is an exploration in how a single mathematical idea—entropy—can be applied to redistricting in a number of ways. It’s meant to be read not so much as calling for an entropy revolution in redistricting, but as an illustration of the power and limitations of fashioning mathematical “interventions.”.
