But she mentions types of info - semantic, perspective, and syntactic. There is also the notion of Shannon vs semantic information. Semantics gets into encoding. Also, weirdly enough Howard Pattee's "epistemic cut" idea relates information to biology which gives a solid grounding for another perspective. This is all very heady stuff.

I'll check out your ref too
