A theoretical paper that defines information as the structural difference of energy (energy texture) and establishes the ontology of information through the six pillars of Energy-Efficiency Theory (EET).
The relationship between information and energy has been quantified by Szilard, Landauer, Sagawa-Ueda, etc., but the ontological question of why information is inherently constrained by energy has not been resolved.
Develops the ontology of information from the generative foundation of EET Core Rules v5.7. Through six pillars (constitutional protection, information=energy texture, triune structure of information, etc.), defines information as the organized pattern of energy differences and introduces principles such as creative asymmetry.
By identifying information not as an independent category of energy but as a specific organizational pattern of energy gradients, provides a unified ontological foundation for the information-energy relationship.
