Here are considered information and information growth in interactions of Information Processing Systems (IPS). Information does not exist ‘per se’ – it is always stored in some Information Processing System (living system, social system, business system, administrative/government system etc.). All IPS are finite and can be modelled as Finite State Machines (FSM) with memory. They are connected with each other and interact – exchange messages. Their messages (responses to input queries) reveal to others information about their functioning, thus IPS with more memory learn behaviour, i.e. infer information stored in other, smaller IPS. Thus information in network of connected IPS-s is accumulating in IPS with more memory and smaller IPS become parts of all greater and greater ‘super’ IPS – IPS on the next level of IPS development hierarchy. The whole human society is currently moving into new era – the era of networked Super Information Processing Systems, where main value is information, not material things. The material goods based exchange value – money is replaced by digital currencies, which are based on computer-generated informational structures. But the rules and practices to handle all the time growing informational values are still from era of material values, we do not yet have culture for information era, thus malware and information theft are growing exponentially and this may essentially change our ownership and market-based societal organization.
