Abstract
Water is suspected to be able to store and transfer information. There is a good theoretical background concerning the supermolecular structure of H2O, that suggests the possibility of a 'memory' of water. And there are experimental phenomena which can yet be explained only by information that is carried by water.
In this synopsis it is shown which properties of water have to be explored to understand its behavior from the physics and the chemistry point of view as well as what the term information means in this context and how H2O interacts with and within biological systems. The characteristics of complex, selforganizing systems are outlined with a stress on non-linear response. In terms of information science the inverse relation of information and entropy, the similarity principle and the roles of complex systems and observers are shown.
The focus lies on the question: Is water capable of carrying information and how can it be read out? The specific aims list what will be under investigation with the Ph.D.-project and show further perspectives. Particular focus will be given to non-linear amplification units and the tuning of such units for information stored in water.
