Anchor: Information Primacy (I)
Working stance: I (information) is the base component we standardize first, and everything else is translated into it (or shown to be a different concept).
This avoids the “no matter what you pick, someone complains” trap by making the debate typed:
- disagreements become objections or alternative definitions, not silent equivocations.
Canonical touchpoints (Theophysics)
- Definition:
02_Definitions/D-002 Information.md - Axiom(s):
01_Ontological_Primitives/AX-003 Information Primacy.md(and any related Tier-0 notes)
External alignments (quarantine)
- Hoffman: perception tracks fitness information (interface), not necessarily ontic truth.
- IIT: “information/specificity” is an axiom of experience, not a physics claim by itself.
- Bohm/Hiley: active information (quantum potential as form-guidance).
- CTMU: reality as SCSPL (syntax/semantics as informational structure).
- Hartman: value uses concept definitions (systemic information) as the basis of evaluation.
Non-negotiable next step
Before any identifications like Φ=χ or “active information = grace”, we must lock an internal information taxonomy:
- Shannon/information-as-uncertainty
- Semantic/information-as-meaning
- Causal/information-as-cause–effect power
- Ontic/information-as-primitive distinction
If two frameworks use different senses, we flag it and move on.
