Energy and information as two components of material existence

Energy and information as two components of material existence A physical being resides in physical time (i.e., has temporality), resides in physical space (i.e., has topicality), does work in physical space and time (i.e., has energy), and obeys physical laws (i.e., described by the equations of physics). As already emphasized above, the concept of the material has a larger scope than the concept of the physical, because every physical event is material, but not every material event is physical due to the existence of a special kind of material events that are different from the events of the physical order. We will call the non-physical material sphere of being informational. Information events, unlike physical ones, are not localized in physical space, do not have physical energy and are described by laws that cannot be reduced to the laws of physical existence, but, like physical ones, they have a temporal organization (localized in physical time). The recognition of the material non-physical component of being is conditioned, firstly, by the need to explain mental phenomena within the framework of materialistic ontology, because, as shown above, idealistic theories of consciousness do not agree with the epistemological completeness of physics, and, secondly, by the impossibility of generating events by purely physical systems that have non-physical properties, because otherwise we come to a violation of the causal closure of the physical world. By virtue of the principle of ontological inseparability, an informational (material non-physical) entity under no circumstances can exist in isolation from a physical entity, and, therefore, an informational (material non-physical) event occurs when and only when the corresponding material physical event occurs.
