We discuss the creation of information in the evolution of the biosphere by elaborating on the interplay between affordances and constraints. We maintain that information is created when affordances are seized and, therefore, at the same time, meaning is generated and a new space of possibilities is created.

Abstract

We discuss the creation of information in the evolution of the biosphere by elaborating on the interplay between affordances and constraints. We maintain that information is created when affordances are seized and, therefore, at the same time, meaning is generated and a new space of possibilities is created.
