摘要
General systems theorists often refer to matter, energy and information as fundamental categories. The three concepts-matter, energy and information-are related through scientific laws. Matter and energy relations are more thoroughly understood than relations involving information. At the level of data or signal "difference" is suggested as a more elementary term than "information".
