Information and Knowledge: Nature and the Conceptual Model

Information is defined through the introduced concepts of an information object and an informa tion interaction, in which the change in the state of objects-originals involves a change in their images. Infor mation is a macro form that emerges in a nonequilibrium medium and has a dual nature as an object and as a reality. Knowledge is defined as information that is reduced to the superposition of possible states of the information object in different individual domains. Information fulfills communication functions, interac tions in an individual domain, and its own functions that actualize its own validity. In terms of the mechanism of interaction, information, being a structured and not atomic object, should have " interface" elements that join it with communication objects.
