The advent of quantum physics in the early twentieth century and the birth of computer
science, has defined a paradigm shift by introducing a new concept: the information. If the energy-
matter paradigm was sufficient to explain the reality of industrial society, the emergence of
information technologies required a reformulation of the ontological base by using the triad:
Information-Energy-Matter. Under this new view, we need the conceptual energy redefinition,
with profound implications for engineering and for structuring a new kind of society, known as
Information Society, precursor of the Knowledge based Society. It speaks today of a "condensate"
energy when referring to matter and an "encoded energy when referring to the information, withthe meaning of in-formation (morphogenetic causes). Victor Sahleanu defined a new type of
interaction in his book Eseu de biologie informaional ever since 1973. This interaction is the
informational link, opposed to a causal link, and is based on codes and messages, having the role of
adjusting or triggering the behavior of a system. Mihai Drgnescu formalized this approach into
his new vision: The Orthophysics1.
Based on this new approach, we can define a new kind of technology (the ortho-
technology) based on a new type of interaction: intro-opening 2and new devices: orthotrons,
phenomenological processor etc. It is foreseen a jump from a technology, based on energy-matter
flows (with very low efficiency and a significant environmental contamination) to a quantumengineering, based on "information streaming, emergent properties, nonlinear phenomena , with
profound implication in redefining of human being (brain structure, cognitive processes, social
behavior) 3
In this context, the paper is focused on the main stages of the formation and evolution of
the term of information (in-formation), define a set of properties that characterize this info-energo-
matter paradigm, with the intention of highlighting the theoretical and technological openings,
resulting from this reformulation of the ontological basis of Reality4. It focuses on the integrative
role of complexity science5 in defining this vision and highlights the role of trans-disciplinary
methodology as a conceptual and theoretical approach to the processes and phenomena of Nature
in general, and in neurosciences in particular.
