one of two. A bit of information is the information content of an event occurring when its probability is one half.

To know something is to have data about it. To have understand something is to information about it.

Data has no information. If a message source can send only one possible message, the chance that the receiver will receive that particular message is one out of one or 100%. Therefore, the receiver is 100% certain about which message will be received. Another way of saying this is that the receiver has 0% uncertainty about which message will be received.

Thus, we have 0 bits of information which corresponds to 0 bits of uncertainty.

Note that in communication theory, this uncertainty is taken as a measure of the amount of information transmitted by the source and that this amount of information is called “the entropy". Thus, in communication theory the words “information”, “entropy” and “uncertainty” are synonymous and mathematically defined.

A mind takes data and turns it into different data.
