inary information pyramids Particles of matter are alpha-informational: they form a simple binary alphabet and in composition they manifest information. In composition, particles form actual visual images of matter from molecules, aids viruses, and celestial bodies to diamond crystals and living organisms. They, in otherwords, express images of information: they are imago- informational with the cosmos appearing to be alpha-imago-informational (A.I.I.) in nature.
(1) Bits: Computer bits are a two-letter alphabet of 1's and 0's known as binary language; (2) Bytes: Assorted 1/0 groupings of eight bits are called bytes and represent characters, i.e. symbols, such as "c," "7," or "+." All symbols have eight 1/0 bits; (3) Fields: Symbols represent a field such as John's list of three fields (individual letters/symbols together making a word) including apple, soccer ball, and sun. "Each set of related information makes up one data record." (4) Record: Fields arranged by something they have in common represent a record as in spheres. The apple, soccer ball, and sun are all in the sphere record. (5) File: Stored in a computer, collections of related records form files. On Jane's record is a list of three spheres including marble, orange, and moon. When John and Jane's record of spheres are put together in a computer, they make a file. This is the computer's information pyramid.
There is a relationship between the computer's and the Universe' information pyramids: (1) Bits: Nature's binary alphabet is up quarks and protons one and down quarks and electrons zero. The proton-electron pair is the binary unit (BU) distinguishing one element from another. Thus, the periodic table is stair-cased from one (hydrogen) to 92 (uranium) BU's where the difference between one element and the next is a BU multiple. Perspective #1: Particles are letters, elements are words, molecules are sentences, DNA is a module of instructions, and the DNA cell is full of modules of instructions which together are a program for life (for example, yours or mine) written in binary code.
Perspective # 2: (2) Bytes: Eight bits make a byte. Particles come in bytes. Murray Gell-Mann found patterns involving particles groups of eight. Yochiru Nambu writes: "Each group of mesons, baryons, and antibaryons forms a group of eight." Atoms also come in bytes. In the 19th century, John Alexander Reina Newlands noted that similar elements occur at intervals of eight - his "law of octaves." Every round of eight produces similar elements. Computers, atoms, and particles have symbols, or bytes made of eight bits; (3) Field: Atomic symbols combined together represent a field. H2O, CO2, and other molecules, biomolecules, and DNA are fields; (4) Record: the DNA cell as a whole (as a microcosm of the whole organism) and/or living organisms are records written in binary code. (5) File: A family plants or animals is a file. Organisms are algorithms written in binary code.
The foregoing has shown that particles of matter are alpha-informational and in expression are imago-informational. Furthermore, that the computer and quantum universe both use information pyramids based on the binary code. For more details on not just the binary aspect of the configuration of matter, but its ternary dimensions, please look at #1, #2, and the work bringing #1 and #2 together #3.
