In the entropy Venn diagram, the left circle represents the entropy $H(X)$ and the right circle represents $H(Y)$. Their intersection represents the mutual information $I(X;Y)$.

Conditions: Suitable for illustrating information decomposition between two discrete random variables $X$ and $Y$.

Conditions: Suitable for illustrating information decomposition between two discrete random variables $X$ and $Y$.

Yes, mutual information is perfectly symmetric. The formula $I(X;Y) = I(Y;X)$ holds true.

Conditions: Applies to any pair of random variables $X$ and $Y$ for which mutual information is defined.
