The way we know confirmation isn't the same as information (but only the superficial appearance of it) is by observing that no change ever occurs as a result of it. Information, on the other hand, means change - that's what...

Continue readingRegular events don't provide us with any information, of course. They can't do that because nothing new is happening - only unique events represent information. It's only information if it's never happened before. We could therefore say that the very...
Continue readingLinear time is an entropic dimension - nothing ever happens in it, in other words (despite all appearances to the contrary). Linearity is always like this - it wouldn't be linearity otherwise. Linearity means that the proportionalities originally inherent in...
Continue readingEntropy means that information has been lost from the system. Information in turn refers to what we might call the ‘surprise content’ of what's going on such that when there is zero element of surprise then this means that the...
Continue readingWhere we can see the construct to be ‘only a construct’ then this automatically makes it real to us. When we can't see the construct to be ‘the construct’ (or ‘the thought’ to be ‘the thought’) then this is what...
Continue readingWhat does it mean to say that ‘everything is information’? The short answer is nobody can ever know what that means. No one can ever know what that means for the simple reason that there is no convenient external platform...
Continue readingWhen there is the polarity of ‘self’ versus ‘other’ (or ‘object’ versus ‘subject’) then there can be no information, W. There can be no information here because other depends on self, just as object depends on subject. No discontinuity exists...
Continue readingWe can understand what information isn't by thinking in terms of movement. Steady state (or ‘fixed’) velocity isn't information precisely because it is fixed - nothing is changing, despite the motion that seems to be going on. If we allow...
Continue readingWe degrade life by thinking about it - it's a 'bigger event' than we perceive it to be, in other words. It somehow becomes commonplace, unremarkable, only-to-be-expected, and so on. We might try to tell ourselves that life a big...
Continue readingWe see the world in an inverted way. This is very easy to say, very easy to put down in the form of a single, short sentence, but to actually understand what is meant by this represents a change a...
Continue readingWe are in the presence of something which is more profound than we can ever understand, and yet because we are operating on the basis of the thinking mind we cannot appreciate this profundity. We cannot acknowledge it, we cannot...
Continue readingIt is said that we live in the ‘information age’. Everything these days is about information – the transmission of information, the processing of information, the packaging of information, the storage of information, the availability and accessibility of information, and...
Continue readingIt's always important to know what the scam is, what the con job is. Obviously it's important to know that. The con job which is society is an easy one to explain, even though no one will ever admit it,...
Continue readingA formal world is a world in which everything that happens can always be described in a clear and precise way. That’s what makes a formal world into a formal world – the fact that it can be definitively or...
