The Mechanism of Information Storage in Open Systems

Yuriy Zayko

This article is devoted to the description of the mechanism of the transformation of negative entropy (negentropy) coming into the system from outside, into information by doubling bits of information originally presented in the system. The consideration is based on the model of a one-dimensional chain of bi-stable elements connected with each other along a certain direction. It is shown that this phenomenon has the character of bifurcation and occurs if the value of negentropy exceeds a certain threshold level. This phenomenon can be used to explain the mechanism of heredity in biological objects. When the negative entropy is delivered continuously into the system and points of bifurcations of doubling are accumulated, leading to chaotic behavior, this model can also be used to describe the mechanism of variability.
