      3/ First, information is physical or more precisely it is physically embodied. Information is not a thing; rather, it is the arrangement of physical things. It is not an amorphous soup of atoms but physical order.

      4/ Crash a 1m$ Ferrari against a wall, the dollar value evaporate while its weight doesn’t. The value was store in the way those atoms were arranged. This arrangement is information.

      5/ Second, information is meaningless. Meaning only emerges when a message reaches a life-form or a machine with the ability to process information. Meaning is not carried in the message it is derived from context and prior knowledge.

      6/ History from the lifeless (physical) to the living (biological) to the social and then to the economic is centered not so much on the arrow of time but on the arrow of complexity: the growth of information.

      7/ The mechanisms supporting this growth of information lie around three main pillars: out-of-equilibrium system, accumulation of information in solids and ability of matter to compute.

      8/ In a close physical system, the second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy always tends to increase, meaning that systems march from order to disorder, from an information-rich state to an information-poor state.

      10/ Our planet is an out-of-equilibrium pocket inside a larger system—the universe—that is moving toward equilibrium. The free energy of the sun drives our planet out of equilibrium and provides the energy required for information and biology to emerge.

      11/ For information to stick around it must be accumulated in solids. From a physical perspective, a solid is “frozen” because its structure is stable to the thermal fluctuations of the environment. Information has no way to endure and grow in a scalding world like the sun.

      12/ In “What Is Life”, Schrödinger understood that the information required to build a biological organism was hidden inside the cell. From a physical perspective, both proteins and DNA are technically crystals.

      13/ In his thesis, Prigogine explains the prebiotic nature of computational ability of matter by showing that a simple chemical system (a kind of chemical transistor) through bifurcation models a primitive metabolism. Outputs are conditional of the inputs.

          14/ A tree, in its semi-“frozen” state, is a computer powered by sunlight. While a tree is not conscious, it shares with us a general ability to process information. A tree has knowhow, similarly to the processes our own bodies do without knowing how: digestion, immunity…

          25/ A “personbyte” is defined as the maximum knowledge and knowhow carrying capacity of a human. At the individual level, there is a limit to the amount of knowledge and knowhow we can accumulate in our brain and nervous system.

          40/ When the external transactions become less costly than the internal transactions, firms stop growing since it is better for them to buy things from the market than to produce these internally: the cheaper the link, the larger the network.
