second-level surplus information

📖 Definitions

"The increase in information due to information inferred from the information that the agents already had, we may now call second-level information or inferred information. [...] the information Alice derived from the information she already possesses, such that Burhan does not hold the same, may be called second-level surplus information” (Bagwala 2024, 6).

💡 Examples

• Using a datset, a powerful computer, and computational skills to model behaviour of commuters in a neighbourhood gives one secondary surplus information about commuter behaviour. (Bagwala 2024, 7)
