Keep in mind that retinal activity represents all the info about the world that the brain receives; different brain regions re-represent that info in different forms to make it more usable.
As Blake’s definition states, it is about information and it’s also about the computation being performed.
Thanks, that's a nice one!
Although it runs into some problems with relying kn slippery terms: information (For whom? Just quantity or meaning required? Etc) and computation (by some defs. everything can be cast as a computation). But for a napkin sized def, it's a good one.

I’d even relax “none” - in some cases this can be “less.”

And as an aside, I appreciate the "for z" part, as it seems to require a subject of some kind for whom the representation matters.
