Hello Roger In case that boundary gives substance and existence, would you agree that information matches as a concept that boundary definition. And if so, would you agree that that boundary contacts both the inner and outer components of this model. And if so, would you also agree that the outer hand of that boundary somehow is related to the non existent part (non existent to the inner object). If we could imagine an universe made of just one particle, the outer space of that universe being non existent should have at least an attribute, not having the only particle, would you agree that that only attribute is enough to completely define the only particle within its counterpart universe. In other words, could be that the absence of information is some kind of information. And if so would you agree that that kind is the only information possible.
I would of course. To me information is the absent part of the equation Thank you too Carlos On Aug 19, 3:32 am, Roger <roger...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Carlos, > > Hi.
