Correct. And when a term does not discriminate, it conveys no information (fully entropic). The term is a placeholder, the outermost brace, or the set of sets. You could say it is the *resource set*, a zero-based origin. Note I did not say it is the *web resource set*. So "information space" is colloquially useful, but not computable as an ontological member (if I use it as a theory, it does not identify a resource itself). len
