<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Thank you, Howard.
<div>Your definition of information practically coincides with Shannon's definition, only elementary (sub-elementary) particles act as inductors and recipients.</div>
<div>In the next step, however, this approach leads us to the notion of information quality. A message can contain both a signal (relevant information) and noise. But the notion of relevance of information is subjective. Relevance is compliance with the goals that the inductor-recipient pair sets when exchanging information.</div>
<div>Do you think quarks and protons have goals and free will?</div>
This is a very important question, because in most areas, except for the Shannon theory of communication, the quality of information is ignored. The subjectivity of this parameter looks too shocking to include it in a decent academic model (about the same way the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is still perceived)<br clear="none"></div>

<div>the first information appears when the first quarks emerge in the first 10-34 of a second of the big bang. quarks read each other's social signals of attraction or repulsion and acted on them to gang up in groups of two or three, thus forming protons and neutrons, which also gave off social signals and agglomerated in proton-neutron teams.</div>

Suppose that <i>p </i>is close to 1 (e.g., <i>p = </i>.95). Then, one may argue, the message conveys very little information, because it was virtually certain that <i>E w</i>ould take place. But suppose that <i>p = .01, </i>so that it is almost certain <i>E </i>will not occur.

<div><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">These intuitive ideas suggest that, if we want to measure the information derived from a message in terms of the probability </span><i style="font-size: 10.5pt;">p </i><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">that prevailed before or to the arrival of the message, we should select a </span><i style="font-size: 10.5pt;">decreasing </i><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;">function.

<div><span style="font-family: New; font-size: 10pt;">The unit of information is determined by the base of the logarithm.

<div> Your definition of information
practically coincides with Shannon's definition, only
elementary (sub-elementary) particles act as inductors and
recipients. </div>
<div> In the next step, however, this
approach leads us to the notion of information quality. A
message can contain both a signal (relevant information)
and noise. But the notion of relevance of information is
subjective. Relevance is compliance with the goals that
the inductor-recipient pair sets when exchanging
information. </div>
<div> Do you think quarks and protons
have goals and free will? </div>
This is a very important question, because in most areas,
except for the Shannon theory of communication, the quality
of information is ignored. The subjectivity of this
parameter looks too shocking to include it in a decent
academic model (about the same way the Heisenberg
uncertainty principle is still perceived) <br clear="none">

<b>Subject:</b> [Fis] definitions of

<div id="yiv6244321141m_5096662293952895996x_yiv5273111498x_xffee1d4888fa460cb226666f8b0a0764" style="">
<div style="margin-top:14.65pt;line-height:14.4pt;vertical-align:baseline;"> <b><i><span style="font-size:9.5pt;letter-spacing:0.45pt;">1.1.
</span></i></b> <b><i><span style="font-size:9.5pt;letter-spacing:0.45pt;">Information</span></i></b>
</div>
<div style="margin-top:9.2pt;margin-right:0.05in;text-align:justify;text-indent:0.1in;line-height:12.1pt;vertical-align:baseline;"> <span style="font-size:10.5pt;">Consider
an event <i>E </i>with probability
<i>p; </i> the nature of the event
is irrelevant. At some point in
time we receive a reliable message
stating that <i>E </i>in fact
occurred. The question is: How
should one measure the amount of
information conveyed by this
message?</span> </div>
<div style="margin-top:7.3pt;line-height:11.65pt;vertical-align:baseline;"> <i><span style="font-size:10.5pt;letter-spacing:-0.35pt;">Information</span></i>
</div>
<div style="margin-top:6.45pt;margin-right:0.05in;text-indent:0.1in;line-height:12.85pt;vertical-align:baseline;"> <span style="font-size:10.5pt;letter-spacing:-0.1pt;">Since
the question is vague, we shall try
to answer it in an intuitive manner.
Suppose that <i>p </i>is close to
1 (e.g., <i>p = </i>.95). Then,
one may argue, the message conveys
very little information, because it
was virtually certain that <i>E w</i>ould
take place. But suppose that <i>p =
.01, </i>so that it is almost
certain <i>E </i>will not occur.
If <i>E </i>nevertheless does
occur, the message stating this will
be unexpected and hence contains a
great deal of information.</span> </div>
</div>
<div> <span style="font-size:10.5pt;"><br clear="none">
</span> </div>
<div> <span style="font-size:10.5pt;">These
intuitive ideas suggest that, if we
want to measure the information
derived from a message in terms of the
probability </span> <i style="font-size:10.5pt;">p </i> <span style="font-size:10.5pt;">that prevailed before or
to the arrival of the message, we
should select a </span> <i style="font-size:10.5pt;">decreasing </i> <span style="font-size:10.5pt;">function. The function
proposed by SHANNON (1948) is </span>
<span style="font-family:New;font-size:10pt;">when the probability prior to
the message is zero) to 0 (zero
information when the probability is
one).</span> </div>
<div> <span style="font-family:New;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none">
</span> </div>
<div> <span style="font-family:New;font-size:10pt;">The unit of
information is determined by the base
of the logarithm. Frequently 2 is used
as a base, which implies that any
message concerning a 50-50 event has
unit information: h() = log</span> <span style="font-family:New;font-size:7pt;"><sub>2</sub></span> <span style="font-family:New;font-size:10pt;">2 = 1, and information is
then said to be measured in binary
digits or, for short, </span> <i><span style="font-family:New;font-size:10pt;">bits. </span></i> <span style="font-family:New;font-size:10pt;">When natural logarithms are
used, the information unit is a </span>
<i><span style="font-family:New;font-size:10pt;">nit. </span></i>

<div> Your definition of information
practically coincides with Shannon's definition, only
elementary (sub-elementary) particles act as inductors and
recipients. </div>
<div> In the next step, however, this
approach leads us to the notion of information quality. A
message can contain both a signal (relevant information)
and noise. But the notion of relevance of information is
subjective. Relevance is compliance with the goals that
the inductor-recipient pair sets when exchanging
information. </div>
<div> Do you think quarks and protons
have goals and free will? </div>
This is a very important question, because in most areas,
except for the Shannon theory of communication, the quality
of information is ignored. The subjectivity of this
parameter looks too shocking to include it in a decent
academic model (about the same way the Heisenberg
uncertainty principle is still perceived) <br clear="none">

an event <i>E </i>with probability
<i>p; </i> the nature of the event
is irrelevant. At some point in
time we receive a reliable message
stating that <i>E </i>in fact
occurred. The question is: How
should one measure the amount of
information conveyed by this
message?</span> </div>

the question is vague, we shall try
to answer it in an intuitive manner.
Suppose that <i>p </i>is close to
1 (e.g., <i>p = </i>.95). Then,
one may argue, the message conveys
very little information, because it
was virtually certain that <i>E w</i>ould
take place. But suppose that <i>p =
.01, </i>so that it is almost
certain <i>E </i>will not occur.
If <i>E </i>nevertheless does
occur, the message stating this will
be unexpected and hence contains a
great deal of information.</span> </div>
</div>
<div> <span style="font-size:10.5pt;"><br clear="none">
</span> </div>
<div> <span style="font-size:10.5pt;">These
intuitive ideas suggest that, if we
want to measure the information
derived from a message in terms of the
probability </span> <i style="font-size:10.5pt;">p </i> <span style="font-size:10.5pt;">that prevailed before or
to the arrival of the message, we
should select a </span> <i style="font-size:10.5pt;">decreasing </i> <span style="font-size:10.5pt;">function. The function
proposed by SHANNON (1948) is </span>
<span style="font-family:New;font-size:10pt;">when the probability prior to
the message is zero) to 0 (zero
information when the probability is
one).</span> </div>

</span> </div>
<div> <span style="font-family:New;font-size:10pt;">The unit of
information is determined by the base
of the logarithm. Frequently 2 is used
as a base, which implies that any
message concerning a 50-50 event has
unit information: h() = log</span> <span style="font-family:New;font-size:7pt;"><sub>2</sub></span> <span style="font-family:New;font-size:10pt;">2 = 1, and information is
then said to be measured in binary
