Shannon's Information Theory Framework

In the dictionary, there's two definitions of information. One which you have described about physical states of ones and zero. The more commonly understood definition of information is the transfer of knowledge. When I say information, what I mean, I mean the information defined in Shannon's information theory framework. You can link information to some degree to uncertainty of an event because uncertainty is linked to the probability of the event. So, as soon as you have a probability of something to occur, then you can have an information content associated to that event. And you can measure that in beats or some other units, which are given by a base of a logarithmic function. It has been introduced by Shannon
