23. This is also referred to as the entropy, or uncertainty, or equivocation of X. Note that there are different conventions regarding the sign of I(X); we follow Shannon's definition as a positive quantity - the amount of information gained upon measuring X. On the other hand, Wiener defines information as a negative quantity [N. Wiener, Cybernetics (MIT Press, Cambridge, MA, 1961)].
24. This can be regarded as defining what the observed quantity is. Transformations commonly used to switch from one set of variables/equations to another do not conserve this property.

27. This is fundamentally different from other representations that use complex numbers in various contexts, including, for example, the recent treatment of coupled oscillators with a collective fundamental frequency [H. Kori and Y. Kuramoto, Phys. Rev. E 63, 046214 (2001)].
