Information is provisional
General systems theorists have described matter, energy and information as fundamental categories in the contemporary world (Umpleby, 2007), somewhat similar to the way that the ancient world identified fundamental elements such as air, earth, fire and water. The utility of this categorisation is illustrated by consideration of an artefact such as a smart-phone, where the size and weight are co...
