CALCULUS

A system of rules for the manipulation of characters as in the logical calculus or in the differential calculus. If the characters are SYMBOLs, a calculus provides the basis for the analysis of what the symbols represent collectively and individually. information theory is a calculus for analysing the amount of entropy in an observed system into various quantities of information exchanged within that system. (Krippendorff)
