On the suggestion of my AI assistant, I'm reading Yuval Harari's "Nexus". Here's its summary of how the author defines information:
In "Nexus," Yuval Noah Harari defines information as something that creates new realities by connecting different points into a network. Unlike the naive view, which sees information primarily as an attempt to represent reality, Harari emphasizes that information's defining feature is connection rather than representation. Information can take many forms, such as music, DNA, or stories, and its primary role is to connect and form networks, rather than merely represent preexisting realities.


Essentially, he says that information is a graph or more precisely, it comprises edges of a graph. Therefore, we can represent it as a homset of all arrows in the graph and apply the Yoneda Lemma to understand the power structure of information.
