Abstract
Games are considered which rely on the concept of a code and which focus on the interplay between the observer and the system being observed. The games lead to specific principles of Game Theoretical Equilibrium. From these, one readily deduces the well known principles of Maximum Entropy and Minimum Information Discrimination. The game theoretical principles apply in certain situations where the classical principles do not.
