information.owl describes the generalised computational concepts required to exist in order for dynamical self-interacting patterns of information to exist. That which is real and discerns different states of being within the differentialMedium. The patterns of differences that are encoded within the differential medium are discerned by the discernmentProcess. This is the root of all occurents (perdurants), which patially exist in a single moment and wholly exist only over a span of moments. All occurents are subclasses of the discernmentProcess. An informationProcess is a discernmentProcess that operates on discernible differences within an informationSpace. It is the discernment and coherent transformation of information. It is the discerner that determines whether some difference is discernible and therefore informative. It discerns, responds to and changes data using a procedure structured by a schema. A schema is a region of an informationSpace that defines how the informationProcess operates on data. It is within the schema that data types are defined. An informationSpace is a differentialMedium that contains discernible differences that are discerned by a discernmentProcess. This depends on the existence of an information process that discerns the states hence information is a phenomenon within an information process. That which is real and actually exists, as opposed to that which is eroneously thought to exist. Data is a region of an informationSpace that represents something. When data is processed by an information process the representational state changes. There are two fundamental types of data... That which is real and exhibits multiple different states of being. In this way patterns of differences are encoded within the differentialMedium and discerned by the discernmentProcess. This is the root of all continuants (endurants), which wholly exist in a single moment. All continuants are patterns within the differentialMedium. 0 PrimitiveData is data that has no parts. ComplexData is data that has parts. The parts can be complex or primitive. An information process operates on data, responding to it and changing it. Group of properties related to information and information processes. A running process is structured by a procedure that is symbolically encoded within a schema. Discerned data is responded to and changed by an information process that operates on the data. The procedure that is symbolically encoded within a schema structures a running process. Has distinct parts that meriologically sum to the whole. Is part of a whole, which is a meriological sum of parts.
