Definition: Information ensembles are broader interpretive contexts or frameworks that give meaning to information entities. They include the systems, networks, or contexts that allow data or information to be interpreted and understood.

Importance: Information ensembles are essential to understanding how information functions. Without an ensemble, information entities are isolated and lack meaning. The role of these ensembles is often hidden or unexamined in scientific inquiry, leading to dybbuks—the hidden interpretive frameworks that shape our understanding without being acknowledged.
