The Nature of Information

The lecture notes for the nature of information is very helpful in defining information. It describes using Icons: direct representations of objects, Indices: indirect representations of objects nessasarily related, and Symbols: arbitrary representations of objects. The notes also describe their relation to eachother in a triangle where signs impact the agent who impact the thing which impacts the sign again. The nature of information lecture notes also are good at explaining semiotics or the study of the sign system. Where people understand the signs and all of their meanings as they apply to them.

Library of Babel

Check out the Library of Babel on Infoport.

It is a complex article about information and a library that has a copy of every book. Even if just one character in the book is different. There are people in the story that start to tear up the books because they think they are bad. And other people think that the books are sacred and save them. It is a good article after you read it a couple of times.
