How I've seen this structured elsewhere:

- Noise (illegible)

- Data (legible symbols)

- Information (relevant, salient data)

- Knowledge (integrated, coherent, true information) - "a justified, true belief"

- Understanding (an anticipatory, predictive, analytical model)

- Wisdom (an autoregressive, self-awareness like term in the predictive model)

interesting.

I would put data first, with signal and noise components determined second. Although this probably some subset of the information in the structure you present?

[for_i_in_range]

I define Data as “Raw External Universe Matter/Energy/Forces”. Think Photons you see or Electromagnetic Waves of a speeding train you hear.

Our Senses (Skin, Tongue, Ears, Eyes, Nose) are “Interpreters” which Process the External data and then convert them to Symbols (“Information”).
