Informational Universe

Bateson distinguished the physical universe from the world of life by introducing his terms Pleroma and Creatura. I follow suit and further distinguish aspects of Creatura with my terms Sentiens, Persona ... (Dementia, Geekoma ...)

I see this activity as very much in line with Korzybski's efforts with semantics as expressed in his book of 1933. I see Bateson's Creatura-as-distinct-from-Pleroma as very much an extension of Korzybskian semantics: as indeed is my own Macroinformation, especially the Existential Sets aspect of Macroinformation — my informational cosmology.

this bald statement will expands shortly

The Soul

Immortality of the Soul? No, no. Listen:The soul is emergent. Informational. Macroinformational.Like life, it is substanceless. There's no thing there. But unlike life, which manifests in organisms — bodies — the soul —being informational, mental — doesn't exist when not being thought about: like a lap when you stand up.

How I put it before:The soul is a synergy of synergies among synergies: a synergy between the synergy stack of the individual organism and its relation to the aggregates of the aggregates of synergy stacks at large.
(I have also called god the synergy of synergies.")
