ABSTRACT

Symmetry-breaking and complexity increase in the morphological space are specified in terms of information. Information presumes a message to be transmitted, a sender, and a receiver. Information is classified into two subgroups, anthropomorphic and nonanthropomorphic. The information content that is necessarily anthropomorphic depends upon what sort of ensemble of proteins is feasible in the first place. Nonanthropomorphic information is purely materialistic in its entire operation, whereas the anthropomorphic counterpart makes inevitable an interference from an intelligent information receiver into the materialistic process. The materialistic underpinning of nonanthropomorphic information is within the law of motion of the one-to-many mapping type, which underlies the process materializing conservedness. The direction of polymeric information translation between polynucleotide and polypeptide is reversed during the transition from the protohypercycle to the hypercycle. Information content in the anthropomorphic sense can be identified by referring to an invariant source matrix of information.
