Beings will process information because they have needs

Beings will process information because they have needs

Chapter 05 — Need and opportunity • Paragraph 2 • §05.00.02.00

As noted previously, Beings can process information—it is their nature to be able to do so (which is how they differ from Things). Simply by living they process information, because life is information processing—when they cease to process information they become Things. However, will Beings process information whenever the opportunity arises? Why would they do that? How is their will (Beings can and will process information) formed? Why do they act, that is, process information, at all? (Although the will to act (and action) is mentioned here, for better comprehension purposes, it must also be understood that processing involves immaterial information (thoughts, feelings, wishes) too, see also §05.00.10.)
