The Turing Test and non-information flow

Abstract

Shows how the Turing Test provides a very simple yet very general characterization of non-information flow in multilevel information systems. Despite its conceptual simplicity, the Turing Test provides the study of information flow with an extremely useful notion which seems to be a significant departure from other current information flow theories. Turing's powerful idea is that information entropy is represented as uncertainty about the mathematical definition of a system, rather than as some function of the direct behavior of the system.<>
