So info is cool shiz right now in physics. It goes something like this, there is a pattern to nature, laws that involve certain functions, and these are what is commonly thought of when physics is mentioned. It is regarded as when one looks at the facts and say, this is the sum of experience. But that is just lacking something fundamental one might feel in their bones- consiousness and the moment of now. But Info is neat, and it can also be thought of simple questions, this is yes, a positive spin, or no, isn't. So that's what is meant in part when it is said that info pops up in physics equations, and might be fundamental in all phenomenon, which interestinf�gly, might include the feeling experience.

This is pretty alluring, that a physics theory could show that the mind is physical, but it would require some really different physics from the cut and dried theorizing of today. Besides needing more speculation in advanced science, something doctorates might not be too comfortable about, there is also the possible scenerio where nature itself has tendencies that are pyscho, that is that gravity and a theory of mind could be compatible. And however fanciful that sounds, it might actually be fleshed out. Such a scheme would start out with using information to try to explain why gravity seems to happen, and what parellels can be made between human thoughts and natural phenomenon. Maybe this is still missing something deep. But in finding further routes to explanation it is perhaps a reasonable path of handling the business.

It's almost expressed more succintly as seeing physics grind to a halt if it never touches meaningfully on the facts of consciousness, and so why do it if it won't pan out? Physics needs to pal up with philosophy to answers some of the deeper questions humans have about their experiences. Some new way of thinking is needed, not neccessarily just the structure and dynamics of successful physics past. It will be a joyious day when it may be finally realized.

It is just that info occurs in the mind, in awareness, and so consciousness, and also in gravity and mass relationships. Follow? The tendencies on one may be like the other.
