This is the first serious proposal for a mathematically-based theory of visualization. The work brings mathematical reasoning and empirical evidence together, and derives three new information-theoretic laws in visualization. The theory explains a few important phenomena such as overview-zoom-details and depth perception. It makes a significant theoretic discovery that visualization breaks the mathematical condition of data processing inequality, confirming the important role of visualization in the era of data deluge. It defines the scope of future research by summarising the connection between over 30 concepts in information theory and the relevant technical problems and solutions in visualization.
