Formalising the 'No Information without Data-representation' Principle
Patrick Allo · 2008
Abstract. One of the basic principles of the general definition of information is its rejection of dataless information. In general, it is implied that “there can be no information without physical implementation ” [1]. Though this is usually considered a commonsensical assumption, many questions arise with regard to its general application. In this paper, a combined logic for data and information is elaborated, and specifically used to investigate the consequences of restricted and unrestricted data-implementation principles.
