This week new scientific findings on human genome were published. Analysis1% of the human genome have shown far more encoded functions in DNA than previously assumed. Parts previously labeled as "junk DNA" were found to be operational. Encoded information is stored in a bio-chemical media. There is a setup to copy and transcribe this information.

Theorems of information science are:

1: Information is neither matter nor energy.

2: Info is transmitted from author/sender to receiver.

3: Carrier/media is not part of information.

4: A code is an absolutely necessary condition for the representation of information.

5: The assignment of the symbol set is based on convention and constitutes a mental process.

6: Once the code has been freely defined by convention, this definition must be strictly observed thereafter.

7: The code used must be known to both transmitter and receiver if the information is to be understood.

8: Only structures based on a code can represent information.
