Macroinformation Analogy

Analogy, somewhat loose:

The sky above much data is dry. Macroinformation forms like a cloud over some data: if the data generates associative dynamics: a mental cloud. The data is of the earth: stones and bones; the macroinformation is of the sky, incorporeal, and tends toward the cosmic.

The cloud may be dark, may be fluffy as cirrus, may have a silver (or black) lining. The cloud may be more luminous than the dry sky. The cloud may be incandescent.
