Truth Only Found in Questions

Information transfer creates the structure of anything. Each fleeting bit of knowledge travels its way from record to record forever. In order for information to be realized, it requires a medium though which to travel, a mode of reception and a place to be recorded on the receiving end. 

DNA strands travel and morph through thousands of generations. The commotion of a scene of interest is filtered through the mind that controls a camera which records the scene to film which is transferred to print on a piece of paper then to be viewed by several in an audience that will discuss the information of the scene at hand. It branches its way further and further, in infinite directions. The original instance of reality has been dispersed and redefined and the information involved will always maintain its connection to that original instance. 

Common physical perceptions and manifestations of information are controlled by perceivable objects. The physical world is steeped in peripheral information - that which is present but doesn't always have a mode of reception. Radio waves. Satellite connections. The presence of microbes. There is more presence of information than any organism can digest alone. Perception only starts with knowledge, and it concludes with investigation and use of the right tools. 

My current and future desire is not to report on reality, but raise questions on what is behind it.
