Information: a devaluted term?

Information is perhaps one of the most common words we hear coming out of our mouths these days. Yet the meaning is seldom questioned and rarely seen in the context of the respective pattern of interpretation. Usually the term 'objectivity' adheres to the term 'information'. And this term needs not be questioned because it adheres to the term 'truth'. Beyond truth, there is nothing to be found. Truth is pure.
   In the Biestmilch cosmos, the term 'information' is not used. We adhere to Umberto Maturana's wise sentence: "Everything that is said, is said by an observer". Nobody has a right
to privileged access to the reality out there.

Information: theory and practice

Sciences meet in the field of information. Computer science, mathematics, communications engineering and biology move together. So here is a short excursion to bring reality back into an inflationary term.
  Information theory is a mathematical theory from the field of probability theory and statistics, based on Claude Shannon´ s work. It is engaged with terms such as information, average information content, information transfer, data compression, encryption and other related topics.
  Besides in mathematics, computer science and communications engineering, the theoretical examination of communication by means of information theory is also used for the explanation of communication systems in other fields of study. (Journalism media, nervous system in neurology, DNA and protein sequences in molecular biology, knowledge in information science and documentation).
  The Shannon's theory uses the term entropy to define the concentration of information in messages. The more irregular a message is built up, the higher its entropy is. It states that the largest possible rate of information equals the bandwidth multiplied by the logarithm of one added to the signal strength divided by the background noise.

Information and biology or the genetic code; a hot iron

It is common knowledge that information is to be found in the genetic code. Since Watson and Crick discovered the double helix of DNS, the dogma of genetic information in the DNS has become so strengthened, with the result that nobody is able to doubt it. Yet if you listen carefully, you can perceive the quiet sounds of resistance at are beginning to unfold from round this dogma. In order to give these sounds a stronger and louder voice, the science of epigenetics has been fathered.

After the Human Genome Project was completed, it became recognizable that nobody really knew what to do with this knowledge. Where is the information that was supposed to be in the DNS?  We have come to the point, in my opinion, where the term 'information' in its traditional meaning should be redefined: Information is produced between transmitter and receiver. Thus it is the result of a relationship.

Information processing strategy of the body

For reasons of a simplified illustration, the organism can be seen as a motor energy system. The activities of the organism as well as environmental impacts are registered and processed through a number of sensors.
   Pacemaker structures in the central nervous system calculate the sum of all incoming impulses and compare the result with the target value. The target value sets the reference for corrections. It represents the standard values to be fulfilled so that survival is guaranteed during any period of physical strain. The pacemaker sends the corresponding corrections to the periphery (skeleton muscles, heart, respiratory system, etc.). After adapting to the new situation, the process begins anew. In this way, a stable and oscillating condition around a baseline comes to being.   Examples of oscillation are: the heart frequency, blood sugar level, the number of active muscle fibers. 

The processes of information processing within the brain are tiring and cost energy 

The more we want to move our limit of performance, the more mental energy is required. Mental energy means high neurons (nerve cell) activity with a draining of the energy stores and thus consequential fatigue and exhaustion. That is the reason why the brain and the regeneration of it should be taken into consideration when monitoring and steering training.
