I think as far as QM is concerned, information is equivalent to quantum numbers like the spin of an electron, or similar things to that - mass, charge, location, etc. That's the fundamental sort of information that's around the place, the rest is based on that, e.g. a bit in a computer memory is specified by a large number of electrons either being in that location or not being there (or something like that). The only information the universe is concerned with is keeping track of the states of the particles and their relations to each other, the rest is significance we give to "macrostates" built on top of that sort of thing. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
