information theory in Spahn

## Overview

There are many theories explicating specific features of the naive or intuitive notion of information.

The academic sites of these theories range over philosophy, mathematics (type theory, measure theory / probability theory / statistics), computer science, physics, communication sciences, psychology / sociology, economics, semiotics, cybernetics, etc.

Information theories in methodological proximity to mathematics are e.g.

* statistical information theory

*  semantic information theory

* algorithmic information theory

* [[constructive-type-theoretical information theory]]
