Step 1 of 12
1. message
Why this step: The smallest building block of the theory is not content or a sign but a difference between physical states.
A message is a physical state differing in a defined way from another physical state within a control path.

Komunikat jest to stan fizyczny różniący się w określony sposób od innego stanu fizycznego w torze sterowniczym.

Step 2 of 12
2. transverse set of messages
Why this step: We need to be able to consider the messages present at one point on the path together, hence the cross-section of the path at a single point.
A transverse set of messages is a set of messages at any point of a control path.

Zbiór poprzeczny komunikatów jest to zbiór komunikatów w dowolnym miejscu toru sterowniczego.

Step 3 of 12
3. original
Why this step: The cross-section at the output of the source gets a name of its own, because that is where the transmission of information begins.
An original is a message belonging to the transverse set of messages at the output of a source of action.

Oryginał jest to komunikat należący do zbioru poprzecznego komunikatów na wyjściu źródła oddziaływania.

Step 4 of 12
4. image
Why this step: The cross-section at the input of the receiver is the place that information reaches; all further comparisons set images against originals.
An image is a message belonging to the transverse set of messages at the input of a receiver of action.

Step 5 of 12
5. transformation
Why this step: To speak of a connection between two messages, we need a process that turns one into the other.
A transformation is the process to which one message of an association must be subjected in order to obtain the other message of that association.

Original:
Transformacja jest to proces, jakiemu należy poddać jeden z komunikatów asocjacji, aby otrzymać drugi komunikat tej asocjacji.

Step 6 of 12
6. association of messages
Why this step: Such a process is always considered for a pair of messages, and the pair becomes the basic unit of analysis.
An association of messages is an unordered pair of messages singled out from a longitudinal or transverse set of messages in a control process.

Original:
Asocjacja komunikatów jest to nieuporządkowana para komunikatów wyodrębnionych ze wzdłużnego lub poprzecznego zbioru komunikatów w procesie sterowniczym.

Step 7 of 12
7. coding association
Why this step: A pair taken along the path, from successive places on it, describes the passage of a signal through the path.
A coding association is an association of messages from a longitudinal set of messages.
Machine translation, under review (draft)
Original:
Asocjacja kodowa jest to asocjacja komunikatów ze wzdłużnego zbioru komunikatów.
Numbered definition in the book.
Step 8 of 12
8. code
Why this step: The transformation within such a pair is a code, which tells how a message changes on the way.
A code is the transformation of one message of a coding association into the other message of that association.

Original:
Kod jest to transformacja jednego komunikatu asocjacji kodowej w drugi komunikat tej asocjacji.

Step 9 of 12
9. informational association
Why this step: A pair taken across the path, from the same place, makes it possible to compare messages standing side by side.
An informational association is an association of messages from a transverse set of messages.
Machine translation, under review (draft)
Original:
Asocjacja informacyjna jest to asocjacja komunikatów z poprzecznego zbioru komunikatów.
Numbered definition in the book.
Step 10 of 12
10. information
Why this step: Now comes the main definition: information is not a thing but a transformation linking the messages of one cross-section.
Information is the transformation of one message of an informational association into the other message of that association.
Machine translation, under review (draft)
Original:
Informacja jest to transformacja jednego komunikatu asocjacji informacyjnej w drugi komunikat tej asocjacji.
Numbered definition in the book.
Step 11 of 12
11. informing
Why this step: With code and information in hand, a transmission can be described as the passage of information from originals to images.
Informing is the transforming of information contained in a chain of originals into information contained in a chain of images.
Machine translation, under review (draft)
Original:
Informowanie jest to transformowanie informacji zawartych w łańcuchu oryginałów w informacje zawarte w łańcuchu obrazów.
Numbered definition in the book.
Step 12 of 12
12. transinforming
Why this step: A special case is faithful transmission: the images carry the same information as the originals, although the messages themselves may be entirely different.
Transinforming is informing in which the information in the set of images is the same as the information in the set of originals.
Machine translation, under review (draft)
Original:
Transinformowanie jest to informowanie, w którym informacje w zbiorze obrazów są takie same jak informacje w zbiorze oryginałów.
