eninformation

Eninformation refers to a concept, often explored in speculative or theoretical contexts, that describes a form of information which is inherently tied to existence or being. It suggests that the very fact of something existing, or the state of its being, contains a type of information. This is distinct from information that describes existing things, such as a book's content or a photograph's depiction. Eninformation, by contrast, is the informational quality of the existence itself.

The idea can be interpreted in various ways. In some philosophical discussions, it touches upon the nature of consciousness and qualia, proposing that the subjective experience of "what it is like" to be something might constitute a form of eninformation. In theoretical physics or cosmology, it could relate to the information content of the universe or fundamental particles, suggesting that their existence itself carries inherent informational properties that might influence physical laws or cosmic evolution.

This concept is not a widely established scientific or philosophical term and is more often found in niche academic discussions or speculative literature. Its exploration often delves into the relationship between ontology (the study of being) and epistemology (the study of knowledge), questioning how information might be an intrinsic aspect of reality rather than merely a human construct for describing it. The practical implications or empirical verification of eninformation remain largely theoretical.
