I came up with a similar theory a few years ago. It's based on the idea of a Gaussian surface for information. The surface could be drawn around a rock or a person. In both cases, information passes into the surface from the environment (photons, vibrations, forces, motion, etc), is "processed" by the matter inside the surface, and emitted by the object after processing. Things start to get weird when you play around with different time scales, and where to draw the surfaces. You might see a tree differently when you see it shifting and changing over longer time scales. It's also strange to think about drawing this type of a surface over different regions such as a classroom, non-contiguous regions such as every member of a family, or even conceptual regions such as mathematical functions, a scientific theory, or program source code.
