# Noise

Irrelevant information

Layer: Physics · Category: Primitives

## Mechanism

Information that is irrelevant or meaningless to the current [Task](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Task.md). It obscures the [Datum](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Datum.md) and increases the cognitive load required to extract [Signal](https://mindscape.world/scapes/bootstrap/Signal.md).
