When only material causes may be considered, as in evolution, even as a source for information, then one has a point of departure which fails when it comes to the empirical laws of information science. Cyberneticist D.M. McKay describes such a viewpoint by saying that it is impossible to sail toward a beacon which we have nailed to the bow of our own ship.

Information may conveniently be differentiated into three groups according to purpose:

THEOREM 10: The origin of any construction is volitional and conceptual. The conceptual solution in the shape of structural information implies the presence of intelligence (an abundant supply of ideas).

THEOREM 11: Operational information is a necessary prerequisite for the preordained functioning of a system.

THEOREM 12: The communication of information requires an agreement between the sender and the recipient.

We can now summarize some of the important theorems which satisfy scientific criteria S7 and S11:

There can be no information without a code.

There can be no information without a sender.

There can be no information without a mental (spiritual) source.

There can be no information without volition.

All information comprises five hierarchical levels (statistic, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, and apobetic).

There is no such thing as random information.
