Quantitative information-theoretical measures for structure are defined, and the connection to statistical mechanics concepts such as exergy (available work) is pointed out. Several information quantities, called `contrasts', are decomposed with respect to correlation order, structure size and position in space. The concepts are applied to the evolution of structure in a model of a chemical self-organizing system.
