This book discusses the development of a theory of info-statics as
a sub-theory of the general theory of information. It describes the
factors required to establish a definition of the concept of
information that fixes the applicable boundaries of the phenomenon
of information, its linguistic structure and scientific
applications. The book establishes the definitional foundations of
information and how the concepts of uncertainty, data, fact,
evidence and evidential things are sequential derivatives of
information as the primary category, which is a property of matter
and energy. The sub-definitions are extended to include the
concepts of possibility, probability, expectation, anticipation,
surprise, discounting, forecasting, prediction and the nature of
past-present-future information structures. It shows that the
factors required to define the concept of information are those
that allow differences and similarities to be established among
universal objects over the ontological and epistemological spaces
in terms of varieties and identities. These factors are
characteristic and signal dispositions on the basis of which
general definitional foundations are developed to construct the
general information definition (GID). The book then demonstrates
that this definition is applicable to all types of information over
the ontological and epistemological spaces. It also defines the
concepts of uncertainty, data, fact, evidence and knowledge based
on the GID. Lastly, it uses set-theoretic analytics to enhance the
definitional foundations, and shows the value of the theory of
info-statics to establish varieties and categorial varieties at
every point of time and thus initializes the construct of the
theory of info-dynamics.
