Informational Cover of Consciousness and the Universe

The paper deals with the close connection of such concepts as «information», «consciousness» and «Universe». The complementarity of trends in modern philosophy and cybernetics is demonstrated: the main trend in philosophy is characterized by a turn of interest from language analysis to consciousness one, and the main research interest in modern cybernetics is characterized by a turn from creation of artificial intelligence (IC) to creation of artificial consciousness (АС).It is shown that the concept «ontological propis» (Eng. - «handwriting sample») suggests that any possible noncontradictory objects can be realized. At the same time, the creation of AС should inevitably encounter a number of fundamental difficulties: 1) the pseudoparadox of consciousness; 2) the principle of the unconditional superiority of the «creator» (nature); 3) the availability of a person only «limited information»; 4) the availability of a person only«limited consciousness».The parallel between the state of Wheeler’s Universe, before the appearance of the «observer» in it, and the state of the unity of «the human being» and «the world», before the appearance of linguistic (separated) forms (the relationship of the medial voice with active and passive voices) is considered.It is shown that the evolution of the Universe makes knowing it person a participant of information’s production, and hence the Universe itself. A man with his consciousness, producing information, turns out to be an «information mirror of the Universe», which with its help, in fact, describes itself.It is shown that the description of the mechanism of «presentation» will be the main difficulty for supporters of creating IC due to the fact that modern man lives in an already divided world.
