From S. Soatto's publication:<br /><br />Despite its pervasive reach today, Shannon’s notion of information had early critics, among those James J. Gibson, who wrote "My theory of the available information in ambient light is radically different from [that of] Shannon. [...] My notion is that information consists of invariants underlying change".
