Abstract
The first chapter introduced several cardinal principles which comprise the intellectual foundation of the present work. The first of these is that any system which exhibits organisation contains information. This conceptualisation of information — that information is a basic property of the universe and is as “real” as are matter and energy — from here on in will be taken for granted.
