Hartley’s Law of Information

Hartley's Law of Information states that the amount of information transmitted over a communication channel is proportional to the product of the number of possible messages and the logarithm of the number of different message options. In simpler terms, it means that the more choices or variations you have in your message, the more information you can convey. Think of it like having a larger set of options—you can communicate more complex or detailed information by increasing the choices available, which boosts the amount of information transmitted through the communication channel.
