matter–energy or mattergy as is widely done. Similarly, it may be con-

venient to coin a new word to represent the combination of information

and knowledge, namely, “information–knowledge” or “infoknowledge”

more briefly (see Arrows 4/5 relative to Arrows 1/8).

Figure 10.32 can be viewed as a network, consisting of 8 nodes/

vertices and 16 arrows/edges. If one focuses on the system of arrows,

ignoring the names of the nodes, Figure 10.32 clearly exhibits a reflec-

tion symmetry. “An object has reflectional symmetry (line or mirror sym-

metry) if there is a line going through it which divides it into two pieces

Figure 10.32 The suggested qualitative (or complementary) and quantitative (or supple-

mentary) relations among energy, matter, information, and knowledge. Adopted with

modification (see Gnergy) from Figure 21.1 in [25, p. 636]. Gnergy = the complementary

union of information (gn-) and energy/matter (-ergy). Mattergy = the combination of mat-

ter and energy that is conserved in the Universe, according to the First Law of thermody-

namics. Infoknowledge = a new term coined by combining information and knowledge in

analogy to mattergy, symbolizing the supplementary union of information and knowledge.

It is postulated here that infoknowledge is to formal systems, F, what mattergy is to natural

system, N and that infoknowledge and mattergy are complementary aspects of realty.
