• Synergetics
• MIMO
• Gaussian channel
• Capacity analysis
• Error exponents

By interpolating between information theory and synergetics, we provide a bridge to connect the two kinds of subjects. As an application, the capacity formula of multiple-input multiple-output Gaussian channels based on the Fokker-Planck Equation of the synergetics is derived. It is in accordance with Telatar's capacity formula in information theory and gives a physical explanation (order parameters) of the observed channel characteristics. Moreover, the master equation of the information theory is also derived to obtain error exponents. Error exponents provide a partial solution to how to get close to channel capacity by giving an upper bound to the probability of error. These results demonstrate that the notion of synergetics introduced here can serve as an intuitive tool in information theory.
