of trying to explain the idea of information without transmitting a great deal of it in the process. It's a bootstrapping problem.
Personally, I believe information to be the fundamental substance of everything. Every measurement or observation you can possibly make comes down to information, any theory you can come up with is information, any decision you can make is information. A desk and chair is information. You and I are information.
But more specifically, I suppose, information is a decision.
