Information in its most restricted technical sense is an ordered sequence of symbols that can be interpreted as a message. Information can be recorded as signs, or transmitted as signals. Information is any kind of event that affects the state of a dynamic system. Conceptually, information is the message (utterance or expression) being conveyed. This concept has numerous other meanings in different contexts.

Information as process as in Simondon 1980 “Information is not definable in terms of the source, or the receiver, but from the relationship between source and receiver”

Information processing is the change (processing) of information in any manner detectable by an observer. As such, it is a process which describes everything which happens in the universe, from the falling of a rock (a change in position) to the printing of a text file from a digital computer system. In the latter case, an information processor is changing the form of presentation of that text file. Information processing may more specifically be defined in terms used by Claude E. Shannon as the conversion of latent information into manifest information. Latent and manifest information is defined through the terms of equivocation (remaining uncertainty, what value the sender has actually chosen), dissipation (uncertainty of the sender what the receiver has actually received) and transformation (saved effort of questioning - equivocation minus dissipation)

Cognitive Information Processing
Computation and information processing are among the most fundamental notions in cognitive science. Many cognitive scientists take it for granted that cognition involves computation, information processing, or both. Many others, however, reject theories of cognition based on either computation or information processing. This debate has continued for over half a century without resolution.
