Book ChapterDOI
Laws of Information which Govern Systems
TL;DR: The structure of n-dimensional information theory is well adapted to the study of complex systems of many parts interacting in a nonsimple way, since it allows quantifications of the degree to which the parts are interdependent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Information flows in hierarchical systems
TL;DR: A partition law of information flow is developed which shows that the sum of the information flows through atomic components of a deterministic system can be partitioned into flow within the system devoted to system coordination,input flow which affects the output (throughput), and input flow which is blocked by the system.
Journal ArticleDOI
An informational analysis of the inter-male behaviour of the grasshopper chortophaga viridifasciata
TL;DR: Information theory measures applied to data from 2169 interactions elucidate the system making this possible and demonstrate the communicatory nature of twelve categories of behaviour and enable these categories to be ranked in order of relative strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Information Transfer Required in Regulatory Processes
TL;DR: Several fundamental relations between regulation and informational quantities are given, showing that regulation is a phenomenon closely tied to the transinformation between the regulator and the system which might be called its opponent.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structural modelling using a simple information measure
TL;DR: In this paper, the structure of a system of N variables is defined to be the set of N dependency relationships giving, for each variable, a set of other variables upon which it is statistically dependent, and the smallest subset of variables for which T (subset : variable) is a maximum.
