Information is fundamentally defined as the propagation of cause and effect within a system, with its meaning varying across different scientific and societal contexts. The discussion highlights the importance of establishing a clear context to avoid misunderstandings, as evidenced by the contentious exchanges observed. The concept of natural information representation as an alternative to binary systems is introduced, alongside a reference to the Holographic Principle, which posits that most information in the universe is contained within black holes. Additionally, the idea that bits are indestructible and that information is eternal is emphasized, with black holes serving as a unique mechanism for potential information loss. The conversation concludes by noting the necessity of grounding discussions in mainstream science.
