Appropriate that you're talking about idiosyncratic domain specific usage of terminology, I'm not sure what you mean by "information theoretic" here. I've always heard it used to refer specifically to the information theory of Claude Shannon.

I probably randomly misused a term I overheard in some bar some time.
(I have a great picture of Claude Shannon's hand holding a literal mechanical mouse: not a modern computer mouse, a simple robot mouse he built do do maze-solving. I wish I could find it, its such a nice example of dropping words and names into another context: "Claude Shannon's mechanical mouse" means probably something completely different to what many people think. https://www.google.com/search?q=claude+shannons+mechanical+m... shows things I think it was taken from. Its a kids book on computing from the 1960s)
