   4. information theory a measure of the number of possible
      choices of messages contained in a symbol, signal,
      transmitted message, or other information-bearing object;
      it is usually quantified as the negative logarithm of the
      number of allowed symbols that could be contained in the
      message; for logarithms to the base 2, the measure
      corresponds to the unit of information, the hartley, which
      is log210, or 3.323 bits; called also information
      content. the smallest unit of information that can be
      contained or transmitted is the bit, corresponding to a
      yes-or-no decision.

   5. computers useful facts, as contrasted with raw data; as,
