Re: information as a selection

Dar Mark,

Accepting this statement would lead to 2 consequences (if I understood well):
(1) one can get information only in interaction
(2) something (e.g., information) exists only if we have got information
about it.

While I support (1),
I reject (2).
(2) would be valid in Platonistic ontology, (although even some modern
followers of Plato do not support it in this strong form).
