Terminology
We call information “any message that brings a specification in a problem which involves a certain degree of uncertainty” [9]. The word information derived from the ancient Greek words “eidos” (idea) and “morphe” (shape, form), have thus, the meaning of form/shape of the mind.
Taking this definition into consideration we may say that information is a fundamental, abstract notion, as energy in physics.
