Information
What’s with all the information?
Information is an abstract concept that refers to that which has the power to inform. At the most fundamental level, information pertains to the interpretation (perhaps formally) of that which may be sensed, or their abstractions. Any natural process that is not completely random and any observable pattern in any medium can be said to convey some amount of information. Whereas digital signals and other data use discrete signs to convey information, other phenomena and artifacts such as analogue signals, poems, pictures, music or other sounds, and currents convey information in a more continuous form. Information is not knowledge itself, but the meaning that may be derived from a representation through interpretation.

The concept of information is relevant or connected to various concepts, including constraint, communication, control, data, form, education, knowledge, meaning, understanding, art, mental stimuli, pattern, perception, proposition, representation, and entropy.

Through integrated information science we can create the most accurate descriptions of our world  at specific points in time and space.
With integrated information from data synthesized by technology like digital twins and cultural practices like storytelling, we can even more accurately index, describe & measure our informational distance from ours to other actual worlds. We can then develop a systems-wide process of alter-globalization.
