Ignoring your pithy insult of Deleuze's work (which is not math), I did not mean to imply that Deleuze preceded Shannon but that my understanding of Deleuze's work maps well to my understanding of information theory. It was a rehash _for me_.
Difference and Repetition, specifically, is concerned with absolute bullshit explanations and generalizations of the mathematical concepts of the derivative and integral, so I think it's fair to call it bullshit math.
I would also say that there is a zero percent chance that someone could use what is there to develop a mathematical basis for information theory which could actually be used to do anything useful, like data compression or error correcting codes.
Note that I am not saying philosophy needs to be useful to justify itself. Far from it. I'm just strongly disagreeing with your assertions that Difference and Repetition has any relevance or relation to information theory whatsoever.
