in your model, is one sample (from the DSP semantic) the same as a

A "message" can be anything - it can be a sample, a bit, a combination
of samples or bits, a set of parameters representing a square wave,
whatever.
doesn't answer my question.
is your measure the same as
SUM{ prob(message) * -log2(prob(message)) }
all messages
?
Yes. In this particular example, a "message" means "a set of
parameters that describe a parametric square wave". To distinguish
between two or more messages, at least 1 bit is needed.
and this question doesn't get answered until the previous one does.
