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?
i'm not backing if you think the fword is going to do that. and you tell that to your young and beautiful one that also.
