This lecture explores the concept of representation of information, starting with the floating point representation and its applications. It delves into the history of symbol representation, from alphabets to Chinese ideograms, and the use of bits to represent different pieces of information. The lecture also discusses the importance of standards in information organization and questions the existence of a universal representation of information.
