That implies Schrödinger's thermodynamic theory of negative entropy, which involves the holding off of death by means of a metabolic burning of food. At stake in this paper is the cybernetic theory of negative entropy, whereby it is information that is negative entropy (Wieners rather than Shannons definition). Information that sustains life, it's lack which means death.
