 | | Information is a term with many meanings depending on context, but is as a rule closely related to such concepts as meaning, knowledge, communication, representation, and mental stimulus. |
 | | Information is a message, something to be communicated from the sender to the receiver, as opposed to noise, which is something that inhibits the flow of communication or creates misunderstanding. |
 | | Systems theory at times seems to refer to information in this sense, assuming information does not necessarily involve any conscious mind, and patterns circulating (due to feedback) in the system can be called information. |
