Is Information Content a Single, Static Quantity?

  • Jorge Fernandez

Abstract

Before information may be measured it must first manifest as a specific kind of information, and that manifestation always occurs within a fixed context. If any critical element of the context is changed, the information that is manifested also changes. The implication of that is significant: information is \emph{not} a single, static entity but instead is a variable, dynamic entity that acquires fixed definition only within a context.
