The Concept of Context and the Turning of Information Theory Upside Down

Bateson's early expression of information was developed with his concept of logical typing which is essentially making a distinction of a logical kind between types of statement. But as he went on he realized that the logical distinction required his approach to be centered on codes and coding was too rigorous a box for what a particular set of communicative circumstances might represent. So when we have a context of things it is in the light of a set of preconditions maybe by only by trial and error but a set of Preconditions that we are now expecting a particular outcome.
