An inertial space is formally unobservable, since as son as it emits or absorbs a symbol it experiences a force, and so ceases to be inertial. So communication curves inertial space by introducing 'tidal' accelerations between communicating entities, forces either of attraction or repulsion.

Seen also in Feynman diagrams and renormalization.
We may see the renormalization group as a simplified version of the process that 'compresses' the output of the output of the hundreds of millions of sensory cells in our eyes into the unified scene that we perceives.

INFORMATION - CORRELATION
CORRELATION -= UNITY
The common origin of all particles in the Universe (by 'big bang' evolution) explains their unity correlation, and so gravitation (?).
Momentum is vector quantity. So is information. In our Universe momentum has 4 (3?) dimensions (ie degrees of freedom). Information can have any number of degrees of freedom, partly depending on how we code the information.
Sacks: blind people live in a 1-D (temporal) world, translating space into time, whereas sighted people live in 4-D, and it seems almost impossible to make the transition in later life (page 102 sqq).
