Raukawa Moana (Cook Strait) – one of the most dynamic formations on the
planet, ever a humbling reminder and inspiration to him
of the enduring, profound wisdom of the Conservation of Energy Principle.
A Sustaining Principle of Energy~Information arising from the Conservation of Energy Principle:
Author’s draft statement
A symbol used in concordance with the continuous universal change enhances the capacity of the user to reflect reality and enjoy harmony with all, whereas a symbol used in discordance destroys the capacity of the user to reflect reality and be in harmony with all.
Objective: The development of a science in our communication of the nature of energy in general and climate care in particular.
Key insights:
- The meaning of “energy”, “information” and “matter” are paradoxically and inextricably entangled. See cartoon below.
- Information is physical and thus subject to the principles of energy.
- Information and energy are of each other at a fundamental level.
- A Sustaining Principle of Information~Energy (see above) True hope of physics arises when our language is concordant with the ways of the universe, whereas delusional hopes flourish when it is discordant.
- Our sense of time is the variable determining how the universal potential (energy) is manifest.
- We are our language, which means we can employ the wisdom of the principles of physics to evaluate the sustainability of our word use over millennia.
State of Development:
This website, created in 2024, is a draft distillation of 10,000s hours of research and reflection this century. It draws on material archived in my previous three websites -especially the most recent one (2014-2024): www.truehope.info
These all explored ways of developing a science in the communication of the nature of energy and climate care.
However, during the process of distilling the key insights, it became apparent that the meaning of the word “energy” is inextricably linked to the meaning of the word “form”.
So the question arose: What is the meaning of “form” and, for that matter, the meaning of the word “information”?
It then soon became apparent these two words share a fundamental factor in common: our human condition is such that while we experience them both with every sentient element of our being, no man can know what they are.
The website took on a life of its own with this realization, informing its scaffolding in ways unimaginable.
Update February 2026.
The first draft of the central pillars of the website are now constructed and most links revised.
As mentioned, early in its creation the seeming innocuous question, “What is information?” arose, befuddling and challenging me to the core.
It eventually added a whole new dimension to the website and caused a radical revision of the entire architecture of the website.
See, for instance, Feb 2025 footnote below and subsequent Oct 2025 cartoon .

Contact: My current busy schedule plus my diplopia and cataracts makes reading on screen and writing a slow, tiring process. Internet is communication difficult for me. So the plan is to wait till the fundamental framework of this new website is in place before setting up a feed-back system.

Footnote 21 February 2025: A significant realization
One word has been ever present during my decades endeavouring to find ways to transcend paradox and develop a science in our language of “energy”. That word is “form”.
As mentioned, this new website is my latest attempt to summarize my key insights.
Often the truth can be staring us in the face and we remain blind to it. The word “form” has been omnipresent these last several months as I have tried to draft the 20 or so pages that form the scaffolding of this latest website yet I failed to see this simple, common word is not merely vital to describing “energy”.
Today the realization occurred that buried deep in our language is the insight that the meanings of “energy” and “information” are inextricably intertwined to the deepest level.
We cannot talk about one without talking about the other.
Energy (the universal potential, all of which is active) is information continuously informing, transforming the countless, myriad possible forms of energy.
Energy and information are paradoxically of each other.
No words can express this realization fully and we can only say all the universe is alive as we are. We are each an exquisite, dynamic formation of exclusive forces (the ego) and inclusive forces (compassion). In the moments when these are balanced we experience oneness with all and enjoy who, how, what, why and where we really are.
Footnote 6 October 2025 A visualization of the Relationship between Energy, Matter and Information
Any form informs all even as it is informed by all. Hence we are our language and it sustains us to the degree it is in accord with the principles of physics.
