of material involved is appreciably less than for the chalk andblackboard, but the amount of material is not crucial. Moreover,the information is independent of the chemical composition of thestorage medium. If large neon letter signs are used for displayingthe same information, then the amount of material required, is increasedby several orders of magnitude.Figure 15: Part A is the domain of definition of information (see DefinitionD5 for an explanation). In this domain all the laws of nature about informationare valid. The domains B and C falls outside of the definition domain. B representsrandom characters or random numbers and lies therefore also outside.87
