Abstract

Here we develop a succinct, comprehensive quantitative addition to the concept of information. We introduce the concepts of latent information (LI), information in transit (IT) and translators in the definition of information and include quantitative extensions for them. A mathematical model is proposed where the quantity of information is a function of the interdependence between intensive (e.g. numbers of bits) and extensive (e.g. the media that transmits them, the disk that contains them etc.) characteristics of the transmitted information. Our concept is an attempt to obtain a very general definition that applies to all kinds of systems and a mathematical improvement on the Shannon concept.
