  This paper aims to contribute to further understanding of dynamism (the
dynamic behavior of system models) in the mathematical and conceptual modeling
of systems. This study is conducted in the context of the claim that software
engineering lacks underpinning scientific theories, both for the software it
produces and the processes by which it does so. The research literature
proposes that information theory can provide such a benefit for software
engineering. We explore the dynamism expressive power of conceptual modeling as
a software engineering tool that can represent physical systems in the Shannon
Weaver communication model (SWCM). Specifically, the modeled source in the SWCM
is a physical phenomenon (a change that can occur in the world, e.g., tossing a
coin) resulting in generating observable events and data of unaddressed
information. The resultant model reflects the feasibility of extending the SWCM
to be applied in conceptual modeling in software engineering.
