In this book, a concept of information is founded and introduced, which is characterized
by objectivity and dynamics and which leads to an information conservation theorem.
This book is written for electrical engineers, computer scientists, and natural scientists.Therefore, the quantity of entropy, used in all three disciplines but interpreted
somewhat differently in each, is once again described in a fundamental way. These
descriptions may be considered redundant. Entropy is and remains a central quantity in
information theory, and thus also in this book. Also in the field of quantum mechanics,
fundamental relations are described which can be found in textbooks. This is especially
true of the introductory descriptions of the representation of quantum bits using the formalism
of quantum mechanics and the theory of abstract automata. Physicists may find
these explanations superfluous and may skim over them. However, this book should be
readable by readers from all the disciplines addressed.
In essence, it introduces the concept of a physically based and objective notion ofinformation, shows its compatibility with thermodynamics, and demonstrates its usefulness.
The book certainly raises more questions than can be answered. Also, little evidence
is provided. The argument follows plausible assumptions, and not without risks.
