Event Shannon nat information
Formulation 0
Let $P = (\Omega, \mathcal{F}, \mathbb{P})$ be a D1159: Probability space such that
(i) $E \in \mathcal{F}$ is an D1716: Event in $P$
Let $\log$ be the D865: Standard natural real logarithm function such that
(i) \begin{equation} \log 0 : = - \infty \end{equation}
The Shannon nat information of $E$ in $P$ is the D5237: Unsigned basic number \begin{equation} - \log \mathbb{P}(E) \in [0, \infty] \end{equation}
