This makes no sense to me. If everything is information why we try
to define it ???? Then its no need in any definition.

Information is a basic concept and that means
it cannot be deduced to other concepts.
Other basic concepts are mass, energy etc. which in fact also
cannot be defined in a strict deductive sence (see Poincare !!!)

I agree with Wiener: Information is information not matter nor energy !!!!!
