Theory of Meaningful Information in Brief

The Theory of Meaningful Information (abbr. TMI) is a general theory that can be applied to information of every type, level and complexity. TMI explains the nature and functionality of information and enables the production of relevant definitions regarding language and knowledge, which remain operative also in the case of non-human languages and knowledge systems. Every piece of information, expressed in any natural language or whatever formal system, can also be expressed in the terms of TMI concepts without losing any of the semantics. This document is a short introduction to TMI, intended for first acquaintance with the theory. The complete theory is available at generalinformationtheory.com
