Dear John:
I should be more careful when I describe my particular concept of the no
information system. It is actually a system that contains the two possible
expressions of no information the Nothing [no factuals of any sort] and the
Everything [the ensemble of all counterfactuals]. The existence of either
is information. However, they are mutually counterfactual so if they exist
simultaneously they total to no information and this absent the need for
any external referent. Since they are both counterfactuals they are both
actually in the Everything. Thus the Everything is a member of itself
infinitely and randomly nested with its counterfactual the Nothing and
again no external referent is required so information vanishes.
Of course one could initially parse the thing differently but in the end
you still it seems to me wind up with an ensemble of all counterfactuals
that is a member of itself.
