Contribution

It formalizes the 'Information as Absolute' concept, grounding it in philosophy and sciences, and demonstrates its implications for ontological and epistemological problems.

Findings

Defines Information as an infinite set of elements and links

Shows Matter and radiation as informational patterns within this set

Provides a basis for resolving fundamental philosophical and scientific issues

Abstract

This article presents and grounds (i.e. presents proof of the existence, the truth, the self-consistence and the completeness of) the informational concept ("the Information as Absolute" concept) in philosophy and sciences, which was developing from 2007 year till now. The concept defines the Information as ultimately common, real and fundamental "absolute" phenomenon, which exists as absolutely infinite set ("Information" Set) of elements (members) and informational (e.g., logical) links between the elements; where any element itself is some informational structure also. Correspondingly, for example, Matter as the substance, radiation, etc., is some system of informational patterns, constituting a specific, and practically infinitesimal comparing to the Set, element "Matter" of the "Information" Set. The concept allows for the resolution, or at least for a consideration on a higher level of rational comprehension, of basic ontological and epistemological problems in philosophy and natural sciences; it clarifies basic fundamental notions such as space, time, energy, etc., and so is the fundamental base for real development of science.
