YET ANOTHER DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT "INFORMATION"

O.V. Malyshev (Institute of Mathematical Machines and Systems of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine) YET ANOTHER DEFINITION OF THE CONCEPT "INFORMATION" To date, a curious situation is formed: the majority of people living on our planet feel they live in the so-called "information society", but a unified and generally accepted definition (interpretation) of the concept "information" is still missing. Known approaches to the construction of the desired definition, focusing on some important aspects of information, overlook the others, no less important. For the definition proposed in this article the intuitive notion of information as well as syntactic, semantic, pragmatic and ontological aspects of this phenomenon were taken as far as possible into account.
