As stated in the [[Information|article about information]], Claude Shannon defines information as how suprising a message is to a reciever it is sent to. Shannon quantifies that value of surprise as the amount of reduced uncertainty of the reciever, known as the information entropy (also Shannon entropy). | As stated in the [[Information|article about information]], Claude Shannon defines information as how suprising a message is to a reciever it is sent to.
