True enough; information (meaningful pattern) does not exist in the abstract, as pure form. It must be instantiated (coded) in matter/energy. Even our 'abstract' thoughts likewise are encoded in dynamic energy patterns flitting through our neurons and synapses. Perceived pattern is meaningful insomuch as it triggers a patterned response (recognition/recall based upon relationship to past experience) in the cognitive neuron/synapse network which it reaches via the senses (vision, audition, olfaction, gustation and taction). All concepts are grounded in percepts, and recurse to inform them.
