Nice article indeed.
About the definition of information, Herve Poirier notices:
<< Difficult to precisely define the word "information" because,
as the word "letter", it refers both to the message to be communicated
and to the symbols used to write it. >>
There is much more to read in the article, and I cannot summarize.
I guess that the readers will enjoy to read it, just as me.
