Hyper-information

“ Hyper-information ” is a substantive employed by Gerard Ayache in his test Great Confusion starting from the Greek root “huper” (above, beyond). The word hyper-information gets busy like common noun. The adjective is “hyper-informational (it)”.

With the emergence of the Numerical , networks and Convergence of technologies, the Information changed nature radically. This change supported the emergence of a plentiful technological universe but it also revealed new territories of the cognitive Conscience. Information is from now on in a complex system which, according to Ayache, seems to obey its own rules of evolution and its own finalities. The integration of the individuals, the system sociétal and the informational system became total, giving rise to hyper-information.

“Hyper-information is an elementary entity which does not have any given significance but which is opposed to the absence of significance. Hyper-information appears in the form of a force. This force is always physically identical, whatever the multiplicity and the changes of the significances which it conveys.

The movement of the hyper-informational force creates the direction and unifies it. It can create value thus. This value is protean: it can be symbolic system, cultural, political, economic, ethical, sociétale, anthropological… The direction created is a functional variable which depends on the structure taken by the hyper-informational force and on the environmental context in which she is exerted. Hyper-information is associated with no particular semantic space. It can all generate them indifferently.

Hyper-information is an abstract immanente and transcendent matter. It is immanente because observable. But it can also transcend all the significant phenomena infinitely. The hyper-informational force connects at the same time the visible one and its idea, the virtual one and reality, the material and the immaterial one.

Hyper-information does not know space. It has neither border nor territory. She does not know time, her speed is unlimited. On the other hand, it is able to create specific space times.

Hyper-information does not have a way of predilection; its force transports it in all the circuits of the possible one: technological, cultural, sociétaux, cognitive, biological, etc the hyper-informational force has the power to deeply transform the companies, the cultures and the men in their organization and their situation in the world. It is of civilisationnelle and anthropological nature.

The irruption of hyper-information is likely to modify all the criteria of appreciation of the human being: compared to reality, the truth, time, space. It transforms the man in his emotions, its identity and its relation with the others. It can modify biological nature of it.

Hyper-information does not have an ideology and is not one. On the other hand, it can be used as engine with any ideology. It thus has the capacity to change the world and to modify the destiny of the men. ”
