EXISTENTIAL FRAMES

Information is an abstract concept that refers to something which has the power to inform. At the most fundamental level, it pertains to the interpretation (perhaps formally) of that which may be sensed, or their abstractions. Any natural process that is not completely random and any observable pattern in any medium can be said to convey some amount of information. Whereas digital signals and other data use discrete signs to convey information, other phenomena and artifacts such as analogue signals, poems, pictures, music or other sounds, and currents convey information in a more continuous form.[1] Information is not knowledge itself, but the meaning that may be derived from a representation through interpretation.

The concept of information is relevant or connected to various concepts, including constraint, communication, control, data, form, education, knowledge, meaning, understanding, mental stimuli, pattern, perception, proposition, representation, and entropy.

There isn't one single universally accepted term for anything that gives information. However, here are some options depending on the context:

  • Source: This is a general term for something that provides information. It can refer to a person, a document, an object, or even an event.
  • Data source: This term is more specific and refers to something that provides raw data, which can then be used to extract information.
  • Information source: This term is similar to source but emphasizes the information aspect.
  • Informative: This is an adjective that describes something that provides information.
  • Indicator: This term refers to something that suggests or reveals information about something else.
  • The best term to use will depend on the specific situation. Here are some examples:
  • If you are talking about a person who tells you something, you might call them a source or an informative person.
  • If you are talking about a document that contains data, you might call it a data source or an informative document.
  • If you are talking about a piece of evidence that suggests something is true, you might call it an indicator.
