Abstract
Information and information processing is
one of the most important aspects of dynamic systems.
The term 'information', that is used in various contexts,
might better be replaced with one which incorporates
novelty and related concepts. Many important
communications of learning systems are non-ergodic. The
ergodicity assumption of Shannon's communication
theory restricts his concept to systems that can not learn.
For learning systems that interact with their environments
the more primitive concept of 'variety' will have to be
used, instead of probability. A suitable concept to information
processing of learning systems is presented.
