If a mechanism for conserving information exists (ie. biological or electronical reproduction, as found in the natural world and the simulation tierra, respectively), then in theory large quantities of information can be produced from not intelligent source<ref>http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/information/infotheory.html</ref>. |
