OK, I finished reading your chapter and I think I understand
where you are coming from. If matter and energy are not essentially
different than (objective) information, then there is no difference
between the dynamics.

True, but when the formal stance become more useful, doesn't that
indicate a difference in kind in the dynamics of the underlying
system? I'm thinking here of something along the lines of a
phase transition like Wolfram's categories of cellular automata
dynamics: static, periodic, random and chaotic.
