How much information?
Which one of the two previous messages
contain more information?
![Page 6: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How to measure information?
Any surprise?
Clarify any uncertainty?
Is information equal to meaning?

What is form?
![Page 8: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What is form?
ShapePatternRelationships of parts in a system
Form expresses relationships.
![Page 9: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Form vs. Information
Information is not the same as form.
Forming, informing, communicating, detecting, making known, etc.
![Page 10: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What is information anyway?
Information is the transfer of form from one medium to another.
Communication of relationships.
Information, The New Language of Science, Hans Christian von Baeyer
![Page 11: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How is it done?
When moving from one medium to another, the pattern/form has to be translated.
Code
Encoding and decoding
![Page 12: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Remember this
![Page 13: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
And this
![Page 14: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Coding with fingers
We can count from 0 to 1023 with 10 fingers. 1024 numbers are coded with the use of just 10 fingers.
It is a kind of digital code, in fact, binary code.
![Page 15: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Any analog coding?
Note that most analog signals are represented and transmitted through some kinds of wave.
The most simple wave form is the Sine Wave.
![Page 16: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Sine wave
The formula
y = sin (t)
![Page 17: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Sine wave
The general formula
y = a*sin (w*t + b)
Two sine waves can add together,y1 = a1*sin(w1*t + b1)y2 = a2*sin(w2*t + b2)
to form a complex wave form.
![Page 18: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Fourier Theorem
Any periodic function can be approximated by the sum of various sine waves.
See the demonstration at
http://www.jhu.edu/~signals/fourier2/
y = a1*sin(wt+b1) + a2*sin(2wt+b2) + a3*sin(3wt+b3) + …
![Page 19: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Fourier Theorem
By finding out all the a’s and b’s for the formula, any periodic function can be encoded using these numbers: a1, b1, a2, b2, a3, b3, …
y = a1*sin(wt+b1) + a2*sin(2wt+b2) + a3*sin(3wt+b3) + …
That is the pre-digital computer age. Pairs of discrete numbers can be used to represent a continuous wave form.
![Page 20: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Being digital
Then comes the digital age where a continuous function is represented by discrete numbers through the process of sampling.
Remember the Director self portrait exercise.

Game
• One student writes down the name of
another student and hide it.
• The other students guess the hidden
name by asking questions to the first
student.
• The student can only answer yes or no.
• See who gets it right first and count
the number of questions asked.
![Page 38: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Game answer
The amount of information containing in the question ‘who is the student?’ can be measured by the number of questions asked to discover that students.
A good question may eliminate half of the students to be considered.
![Page 39: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Game answer
If there are 16 students, one good question will reduce it to half, i.e. 8 students.
4 questions will be required to single out the hidden student.
Note, 2 to the power 4 is 16. We need 4 binary digits to encode this piece of information.
![Page 40: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Information content
Which one of the three pictures contain more information?
![Page 41: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Information content

![Page 42: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Number sequence revisited
Take the following number sequences. Which one of them contain more information?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, …1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, …4, 7, 3, 1, 2, 1, 9, 6, 5, …8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, …1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 3, 1, 4, 5, …
![Page 43: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Randomness
A random sequence contains the most information. There is no formula to reproduce the sequence except by listing it out completely.
There is no program/algorithm to generate the exact sequence except by copying and listing it out.
![Page 44: Class 07 - Information What is Information?. Class 07 - Information What is Information? Information arts Information design Information society Information.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649d565503460f94a3384f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Randomness and redundancy
4, 7, 3, 1, 2, 1, 9, 6, 5, … 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, …
The first sequence seems to be random. The second is obviously not. It contains a lot of redundancy after the first 1, 2.
Is it good to have no redundancy then?
