Abstract
A geometric representation for information theory is introduced by recourse to a covariant formulation, according to the customary procedure employed in connection with Riemann spaces. The central tool of this representation is the metric tensor that characterizes the particular dynamics of a given system and yields the corresponding quantal invariants.Keywords
