- Abstract
- The metrical characteristics of information space are compared with those of physical space. An abstract model is used to show that information space is like that of landscapes and skyscapes. As individuals we learn very early to correct the distortions that subjective appearances impose on us but traces of this process are shown by cosmological history. These arguments are supported by other evidence indicating that information quantities should be measured logarithmically
