Is there some kind of Information conservation law similar to conservation laws for energy and matter or does Information behave like a nuclear reaction, feeding itself and trying all the time to propagate further? In order to understand Information better we should consider principles which have guided the best producer and consumer of information &amp;ndash; life and especially its highest form &amp;ndash; Man. Memory, storing information about their environment and ability to replicate allows living things to change the thermodynamical balance of their environment &amp;ndash; they decrease disorder (entropy) in their population while increasing it in their environment. Man invented for collecting information (thus also increasing entropy in environment) a totally new tool &amp;ndash; language, which moved the process from the level of individual entities to the level of the whole Mankind. Language is the Mankind's model of the world, which reflects word structure and (in the limit) converges to a similar structure, i.e. has entropy close to the entropy of the world which it describes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/978-1-61499-177-9-277","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,20]],"date-time":"2025-02-20T12:06:08Z","timestamp":1740053168000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Emergence of Information, Communication and Language"],"prefix":"10.3233","author":[{"family":"Henno Jaak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"7437","container-title":["Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications","Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases XXIV"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,20]],"date-time":"2025-02-20T12:51:20Z","timestamp":1740055880000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.medra.org\/servlet\/aliasResolver?alias=iospressISSNISBN&issn=0922-6389&volume=251&spage=277"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2013]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3233\/978-1-61499-177-9-277","relation":{},"ISSN":["0922-6389"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0922-6389","type":"print"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2013]]}}}
