Three substances of information: perception, essence, meaning

The article characterizes and interprets the concepts introduced in the theory of the information field A.Denisov and the discrete version of this theory, which name– the informational approach to the analysis of systems: sensual information (perception information, element base, data), logical information (essence or information potential) and their logical intersection, which in theory A.Denisov corresponds to the category of information complexity, content, meaning. It is shown how these concepts arose in the theory of the information field as a result of two laws of reflection — sensory and logical, as they are interpreted in a discrete version of the theory. It is considered how the reflection of objects or processes goes through several stages. During their passage, the term “information” is used all the time, but until a more specific name of the perceived and / or transformed essence corresponding to a particular decision–making process is found. Understanding this process makes the available measures of information possible to more accurately use, as well as the mating terms “data (J) – concepts (H) –knowledge (C)”. Such approach allows to determine the measures which can be entered for measurement of the selected stages of information transformation based on deterministic and probabilistic approaches, choosing them taking into account specific objectives and the conditions of application of the theory of A.Denisov.
