It can be challenging to observe and describe a problem, and to choose and utilize suitable descriptive tools to obtain its solution(s). Furthermore, no one tool created or used by humans is suitable for describing or recreating every/all kinds of information or information systems. Information theory, for instance, cannot be applied haphazardly to linguistic systems, communication systems, or psychological theories because the structures of these systems are different from one another, not always clearly defined, and operate according to different rules. Information theory is good for discussing linear communications under certain pre-defined real or theoretical conditions. It is not so good for discussing systems with ill-defined or constantly changing structures.

Nevertheless, once a person can recognize which tool is best suited to a particular task, knows why that tool is the best, and knows how it works, she may gain the ability to apply that tool to other, or unusual purposes. (computer geeks are famous for this; see kludge http://www.bartleby.com/61/50/K0085000.html) When a person understands the strengths and limitations of the tools available to her, any cross-applications /kludges give her more flexibility and power to solve problems.

Specialized representational systems denote properties of the subjects or disciplines they describe. However, as representational systems are modified and reapplied to suit new uses, it is possible that a common vocabulary among disciplines will develop-one which may be used to bridge or index features of other existing and developing languages and vocabularies. If many people use strong and general, yet unambiguously defined terms like "information" and "reality", ideas in interdisciplinary texts that include such terms can be clearly communicated. These terms are powerful when they have the potential to consistently reflect, interact, shape, etc. reality and actuality. Therefore, a consistent widely approved representation on a common plane or medium such as language has more substance than a simple uncommon or vague representation.

Information links the real and the abstract or the actual and the possible. Humans have the greatest ability to recognize, direct, and control information. (tools and history… the invention of lenses enabled people to see, etc.) I have introduced you to information, shared my theories of what it can and cannot be, and showed that the word information is just a label for existing matter and/or energy behaving in a certain way/s. That's all for now.
