Ah, ok... thank you for the clarification.
However, information is in fact a substance. Neuroscientists have long
demonstrated that information is stored as memory in various parts of
people's brain. For example, hippocampus is involved for storing newly
acquired information. As time goes on, those information are moved to
other parts such as the cerebral cortext for long term storage. Over
time, as more information stored in the cerebral cortext, more folds
are observed on its surface.
But I have yet to understand IA's meaning of "information".
