The Fact of Existence as a Source of Information: Where Does Information Begin, and Is an Observer Necessary?

This article continues the concept of the primacy of information outlined in my previous work, « The Fundamental Error of Science: Why Most Conceptions of Information, Being, the Beginning of the Universe, and "Nothingness" in Modern Physics Are Built on Fragile Grounds». This article examines the nature of information as an ontological category independent of the observer. It is shown that information arises with the very fact of existence—as a distinction between “being” and “non-being”—rather than as a result of measurement, encoding, or signal transmission. The notion of a primary unit of information is introduced and its relation to the existence of physical objects, their properties, and their multiplicity is analyzed. The article concludes that information is a fundamental characteristic of reality, whose primacy precedes any interpretation, observation, or computation. A new perspective on the relationship between ontology, physics, and information theory is proposed, demonstrating that the presence of information is objective and universal.
