so the more function, the more information required to perform the function. that's answer, now get off your high horse.
And as I mentioned the first time you fucking tried this, you're injecting a whole bunch of question-begging into your definitions: rather than actually showing a test where one can distinctly find the quantitative substance called information, what you've done is just defined functional organisms and complex systems as possessing information. This isn't a test; it's a baseless assertion.
"What's information?" "It's a thing viable organisms have." "How can you demonstrate that?" "If organisms are viable, it means they possess information, duh!"
Do you not see the problem there?
