Title

¬A stochastic model of information value

Abstract

Faced with a potentially vast amount of information, how is one to decide what is worth searching and when a piece of information is valuable? With small quantities of information semantic concepts are useful: the relevance and significance of a piece of information can be assessed easily. But with lanrge quantities non semantic clues are needed; and ones which require less rich (and therefore easier to scan) information. Deduces quantitative (rate, flow) and qualitative (value) attributes of information from topological measures of organizational information channels
