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. date: 2003-06 date_type: published publication: Entropy ISSN 1099-4300 C 2003 by MDPI www.mdpi.org/entropy volume: Entrop refereed: FALSE citation: Menant, Christophe (2003) Information and Meaning.
