✦ Synopsis

A population-dynamics model of a general informationprocessing system is introduced. This system is functionally coupled to two environments, one internal and one external, which comprise the environage. GBdel's incompleteness theorem provides a basis for the hypothesis that a single phenomenon accounts for the increase of information with time in all natural information systems. Each information system, inherently incomplete, saturates its external environment and is superseded by a new system more apt in the new external environment. A functional hierarchy of such systems results. Because information is a model of the environage in which it was formed, information's "meaning" is intrinsic, but only in the context of that domain.

## Abstract Aggregation is commonly associated with loss of information. In contrast, this paper shows that aggregation can actually enhance information down‐the‐road by deterring information cascades. In particular, when hierarchical tiers forward only aggregate recommendations rather than nitty‐g
