When thinking about Information, the issue of human intelligence seems to get in the way. If all intelligent life disappeared from Earth, will there be Information?
Our gut instinct is to say no, if Information exists objectively, and yes, if it depends on being understood.
If temperature is emergnet, I don't see a problem in having Information also emergent.
The importance of Information in the evolution of our Universe is increasing; as we see the dangers caused by human activity in warming the Earth.
It is possible that all arrays have Information, whether or not intelligent beings understand them, but it is a fact that patterns are understood by all sorts of animals, plants, and chemical reactions among comnplex molecules. That information that is not understood, may not be so ,in a deeper sense.
Some Yale scientists put quantum mechancis to work for them in an electronic chip. Cool.
