NATURE OF INFORMATION

This discipline concerns the nature, limits, and role of information as a fundamental aspect of reality. It approaches the subject through analysis of physical systems, cognition, and communication. Its purpose is not to prematurely assert a unified theory, but to explore whether information can be understood as a primary constituent linking physical processes and conscious experience.
