System as Information:
Information: "The difference that
makes a difference "
-Gregory Bateson
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The various bindings between variables creates patterns in the output.
These patterns
of output reflect the
conditions of the variables
and the way they interact as a result of the bindings
In turn, these patterns can be "interpreted" to "reconstruct" (some of) the conditions that
created them.
By mapping (translating between) the various
patterns and the conditions that created them
we construct "information" from "data"
This allows us to modify (via control inputs) the way
the system behaves -dependent on the information
available.

Patterns of data can be used to
"interpret" the output values (data analysis).
