Real world examples?

I work with software engineers who directed me to this page. I am not myself an engineer. A selection of simplified "real world" examples of data would be very useful. Would someone be up to providing some to make the model understandable to ordinary humans? Providing how the information fits into the diagram would also be useful. In the "weather forecast" example, I had difficulty translating the example into the diagram, and vice-versa. 172.10.237.153 (talk) 21:20, 29 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Self Information" example

The example at the bottom of the section "Self-Information" relies of the fact that the sun always sets. Due to the inclined axis of the Earth, this is not true for certain regions. See Midnight Sun 188.126.86.216 (talk) 11:48, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
