the continued existence of recoverable information

This phrase helped something click. Thanks for collapsing a wave function for me with all that information ๐Ÿ˜œ

Seriously though, this is how information works even in evolution: continued existence of recoverable information. Genes that don't favor recovery of the genetic line, drop out of information's purview.

To see some basic analogy of natural selection at the quantum level is a bit exciting, to say the least.
