Only biological Beings need to increase their information processing

Only biological Beings need to increase their information processing (not organisations and artificial Beings). Because organisations and artificial Beings do not need to survive, they have no need to increase their information processing—although, as has been seen, this happens automatically with every new day of life. (All animals, because they share the need to survive, need to increase their information processing; it is only humans that also need to augment it.) Non-biological Beings have the will to process information, because it is in their nature to do so, for as long as they remain in existence, but if it happens that they cease to be alive (see §02.00.09; Beings that are no longer alive become Things) no need of theirs is left unsatisfied. Based, therefore, on their human-set purposes, non-biological Beings may or may not augment their information processing (augmentation may be the result, for example, of the information processing of conglomerate organisations or open-ended algorithmic computer programs). Augmentation is, therefore, a possibility for them (dependent on their purpose each time), but not a need as per their nature.
