What is information?
Does information exist without the presence of agents that acquire or produce it?
Is the information produced or collected?
Is the limitation of the medium in which the information is stored the same as the nature of the information itself?
Entropy dilutes information? Or does entropy dilute the fabric of reality from which we distill information?
Is there a difference between reality and the information that represents that reality?
Only some questions because I have not finished putting together a minimum concept of "information" that satisfies me.
Obviously, everything of our apparent reality is information gathered by our sensory complex the body and the understanding. Information is not information without a sensing subject/biology, information by definition provides experience, meanings, and understanding, which is dependent on an outer source and the constitution of the organism/man thus providing us an apparent reality. The difference between reality/apparent and ultimate reality, is ultimate reality is unmanifested energy. Apparent reality is a biological interpretation, a biological readout of how those energies have an effect on the body and its understanding. So, we do not experience the source, we experience the effects of the source. It is a melody the physical world plays upon its instruments' biological organisms, and that melody is apparent reality. Information is produced out of otherwise unmanifested energies that affect the body and the understanding as a biological readout or the melody of apparent reality. Your question, "Is the limitation of the medium in which the information is stored the same as the nature of the information itself." No, the information which is not information in the absence of a conscious biology, becomes information as it effects/alters of the body, again we don't really experience the source only how the source affect/alters our body/biology. "Is the information produced or collected", neither it is experienced.
