But, having said that the error is to consider information like having a mass. What we are used to compress is not information, but a mass for whcih we assign meaning/information.

Data is mass.  Mass is contained in particles.  Particles have 
orthogonal properties.  Orthogonal properties are data.  Data is mass...
