Redundancy: “The repetition of elements within a message that prevents the failure of communication of information—is the greatest antidote to Entropy." (Encyclopaedia Britannica) A sign of an unfinished design. However, humans rely on a degree of redundancy in communication. It provides orientation, improves learnability, helps to separate signal from noise and supports error correction. See also Peak Minimalism.
