lie is an information someone gives in order to deceive
someone else, while information doesn't neccessarily mean
that.

Information as a concept bears a diversity of meanings, from
everyday usage to technical settings. Generally speaking,
the concept of information is closely related to notions of
constraint, communication, control, data, form, instruction,
knowledge, meaning, mental stimulus, pattern, perception,
and representation.

Many people speak about the Information Age as the advent of
the Knowledge Age [citation needed] or knowledge society,
the information society, and information technologies, and
even though informatics, information science and computer
science are often in the spotlight, the word "information"
is often used without careful consideration of the various
meanings it has acquired.

Information as a message
Information is the state of a system of interest
(curiosity). Message is the information materialized.

Information is a quality of a message that is sent from a
sender to one or more receivers. Information is always about
something (size of a parameter, occurrence of an event,
...). Viewed in this manner, information does not have to be
accurate. It may be a truth or a lie, or just the sound of a
kiss. Even a disruptive noise used to inhibit the flow of
communication and create misunderstanding would in this view
be a form of information. However, generally speaking, the
amount of information in the received message increases the
more accurate the message is.

This model assumes there is a definite sender and at least
one receiver. Many refinements of the model assume the
existence of a common language understood by the sender and
at least one of the receivers. An important variation
identifies information as that which would be communicated
by a message if it were sent from a sender to a receiver
capable of understanding the message. However, in requiring
the existence of a definite sender, the "information as a
message" model does not attach any significance to the idea
that information is something that can be extracted from an
environment, e.g., through observation, reading or measure

I mean, it doesn't have to be. But it is POSSIBLE. Truth can
not be found

Information is a term with many meanings depending on
context, but is as a rule closely related to such concepts
as meaning, knowledge, instruction, communication,
representation, and mental stimulus. Simply stated,
Information is a message received and understood. In terms
of data, it can be defined as a collection of facts from
which conclusions may be drawn. There are many other aspects
of information since it is the knowledge acquired through
study or experience or instruction. But overall, information
is the result of processing, manipulating and organizing
data in a way that adds to the knowledge of the person
receiving it.

Communication theory is a numerical measure of the
uncertainty of an outcome, for example, we can say that "the
signal contained thousands of bits of information".
Communication theory tends to use the concept of information
entropy, generally attributed to C.E. Shannon (see below).

Another form of information is the Fisher information, a
concept of R.A. Fisher. This is used in application of
statistics to estimation theory and to science in general.
Fisher information is thought of as the amount of
information that a message carries about an unobservable
parameter. It can be computed from knowledge of the
likelihood function defining the system. For example, with a
normal likelihood function, the Fisher information is the
reciprocal of the variance of the law. In the absence of
knowledge of the likelihood law, the Fisher information may
be computed from normally distributed score data as the
reciprocal of their second moment.

Even though information and data are often used
interchangeably, they are actually very different. Data is a
set of unrelated information, and as such is of no use until
it is properly evaluated. Upon evaluation, once there is
some significant relation between data, and they show some
relevance, then it is converted into information. Now this
same data can be used for different purposes. Thus, till the
data convey some information, they are not useful.

Information as a pattern
Information is any represented pattern. This view assumes
neither accuracy nor directly communicating parties, but
instead assumes a separation between an object and its
representation, as well as the involvement of someone
capable of understanding this relationship. This view seems
therefore to require a conscious mind. Consider the
following example: economic statistics represent an economy,
however inaccurately. What are commonly referred to as data
in computing, statistics, and other fields, are forms of
information in this sense. The electro-magnetic patterns in
a computer network and connected devices are related to
something other than the pattern itself, such as text to be
displayed and keyboard input. Signals, signs, and symbols
are also in this category. On the other hand, according to
semiotics, data is symbols with certain syntax and
information is data with a certain semantic. Painting and
drawing contain information to the extent that they
represent something such as an assortment of objects on a
table, a profile, or a landscape. In other words, when a
pattern of something is transposed to a pattern of something
else, the latter is information. This type of information
still assumes some involvement of conscious mind, of either
the entity constructing the representation, or the entity
interpreting it.

If you accept that information can be defined merely as a
pattern, does it not follow that neither utility nor meaning
are necessary components of information? Surely a
distinction must be made between raw unprocessed data and
information which possesses utility, value or some quantum
of meaning. Information may indeed be characterised as a
pattern; it is a necessary condition, but not sufficient.
For example a telephone book follows a specific pattern:
name, address, telephone number.

An individual entry does not become "informative" in some
sense unless and until it possesses some degree of utility,
value or meaning. For example, someone might look up a
girlfriend's

Information is not data
The words, information and data, are used interchangeably in
many contexts. This may lead to their confusion. However,
they are not synonyms.

Often data is defined as raw facts while information is
processed data. Another distinction that is made is that
information is the things that we know and data is the
representation of the information. As an example, we may be
thinking about a favorite niece's age, who is four. We would
tend to represent that with Arabic numerals (4), but we
could represent it using Roman numerals (IV), tick marks
(||||), or any other way we agree on. The information has
not changed in each case, although the data has. Note that
we tend to think of information in terms of declarative
knowledge. That is, the facts we know such as a temperature,
an age, etc. Information can also be skills and things we
know how to do, which is called procedural knowledge.

An important consequence of this distinction is that
information has meaning (i.e. can inform), while data does
not. Computers work with data (representations) and not
information (meanings). This is why a computer will
calculate the average employee number even though it is
meaningless.

Note that one person's information may be another's data
depending on whether the recipient understand the data (or
its context). Also, when someone (or something, such as a
computer system) is given a fact, it may only be data, but
when they make sense of (or interpret) it, often by bringing
it together with other facts, it may become information.

Information is usually thought of as, in a strict sense, a
subset of data. However, sometimes the reverse
interpretation can be taken (such as describing data as "raw
information"). Data may also have a more specific sense in
some fields (e.g.: referring to a certain type or set of
information used in that context). When used pragmatically
in everyday speech, it usually specifically refers to
collections of numbers, or, in a wider sense, to any content
not of relevance or

yes
but it is bad information. because it's not that the
opposite is true for instance, anything could be true, even
the lie, by accident.

stop whining: the collection of lies is a subcollection of
the collection of information. (every lie is information,
but every piece of information is not a lie.)
