%0 Journal Article %T Information and Meaning %A Christophe Menant %J Entropy %D 2003 %I MDPI AG %R 10.3390/e5020193 %X We propose here to clarify some of the relations existing between information and meaning by showing how meaningful information can be generated by a system submitted to a constraint. We build up definitions and properties for meaningful information, a meaning generator system and the domain of efficiency of a meaning (to cover cases of meaningful information transmission). Basic notions of information processing are used. %K Meaning %K Information %K System %K Constraint %K Generation %K Efficiency %U http://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/5/2/193
