Information as a Factor of Self-Organization and Organization of Matter

Abstract

Data on biosynthesis, similar artificial processes of chemical-informative synthesis are summarized to establish that information is nothing but the property of matter to adapt to the existence conditions by structuring. In other words, information is a factor of self-organization of matter. The regularities of matter organization on a given level of structural hierarchy, including the prebiotic one, are established. The essence is the following. At the formation of a stationary dissipative structure, the production of information in the process of structuring attains a maximum, so that structuring is the process of producing and materializing information. The absence in inanimate nature of polyatomic chemical individuums, polymers and solids of constant composition, is noted and explained by the negligible probability of formation of polyatomic chemical individuums. However, this probability can be heightened by the afflux of large information produced in the processes of chemical-informative synthesis. The creation of nature-friendly chemical-informative technologies on the basis of biosynthesis is forecasted.
