“…This set is often an unconscious (early learned) prerequisite for conversation, e.g., language vocabulary. Because of its importance, the ordered common set of possibilities from which information (1) selects is abbreviated called "domain" [2,3] (as the domain of the definition of the function "information"). The domain is ordered so that we can select (address) its elements, for example by numbers.…”

“…For example, the same temperature, even in the same environment, may be described as "cold" by one person and "not cold" by another. Therefore, the linguistic representation of information is usually more or less ambiguous and vague [2]. There is no one-to-one mapping or bijection between the original information ORGINFO and its digital representation DIGINFO.…”

“…Sender and receiver of information are different. This translation into the domain "language vocabulary" and back is not a bijection and thus not reproducible, which causes many problems [2]. Therefore, it is important to remember that besides language vocabulary, it is also possible to use "adapted domains" that are adapted to the application [3] and allow efficient and reproducible communication.…”

Digital information consists of sequences of numbers that are selections. So far, these are defined by context. We can globalize this by using an efficient global pointer (UL) as “context”. The article explains new globally identified and defined “Domain Vectors” (DVs) for transporting digital information. They have the structure “UL plus sequence of numbers”, where UL is an efficient identifier and global pointer (link) to the unified online definition of the sequence of numbers. Thus, the format of the number sequence and its meaning is defined online. This opens up far-reaching new possibilities for the efficient exchange, comparison and search of information. It can form the basis for a new global framework that improves the reproducibility, search, and exchange of data across systems, borders, and languages.

All Physical Information Is Discretely Connected From the Beginning and All Geometrical Appearance Is a Delayed Statistical Consequence

Information is physically measurable as a selection from a set of possibilities, the domain of information. This defines the term "information". The domain of the information must be known together reproducibly beforehand. As a practical consequence, digital information exchange can be made globally efficient, interoperable and searchable to a large extent by online definition of application-optimized domains of information. There are even more far-reaching consequences for physics. The purpose of this article is to present prerequisites and possibilities for a physical approach that is consistent with the precise definition of information. This concerns not only the discretization of the sets of possible experimental results, but also the order of their definition along time. The access to or comparison with the domain of information is the more frequent, the earlier it was defined. The geometrical appearance of our space is apparently a delayed statistical consequence of a very frequent connection with the common primary domain of information.

Any information is (transported as) a selection from an ordered set, which is the “domain” of the information. For example, any piece of digital information is a number sequence that represents such a selection. Its senders and receivers (with software) should know the format and domain of the number sequence in a uniform way worldwide. So far, this is not guaranteed. However, it can be guaranteed after the introduction of the new “Domain Vector” (DV) data structure: “UL plus number sequence”. Thereby “UL” is a “Uniform Locator”, which is an efficient global pointer to the machine-readable online definition of the number sequence. The online definition can be adapted to the application so that the DV represents the application-specific, reproducible features in a precise (one-to-one), comparable, and globally searchable manner. The systematic, nestable online definition of domains of digital information (number sequences) and the globally defined DV data structure have great technical potential and are recommended as a central focus of future computer science.
