In the Beginning was Information

Information is always based on the will of a sender who issues theinformation. It is a variable quantity depending on intentional conditions.Will itself is also not constant, but can in its turn be influencedby the information received from another sender. Conclusion:Theorem 2: Information only arises through an intentional, volitionalact.It is clear from Figure 8 that the nonmaterial entity, information,can influence the material quantities. Electrical, mechanical, orFigure 8: The four fundamental entities mass and energy (material) andinformation and will (nonmaterial).Mass and energy comprise the fundamental quantities of the physical world;they are linked through the well-known Einstein equation E = m x c 2 . On thenonmaterial side we also have two fundamental entities, namely informationand volition, which are closely linked. Information can be stored in physicalmedia and used to steer, control, and optimise material processes. All createdsystems originate through information. A creative source of information isalways linked to the volitional intent of a person; this fact demonstrates thenonmaterial nature of information.48
