"But I do believe that it is probably information all the way down. Why?"

Exactly. But it's energy all the way up. It's like two sides of the same coin.

The information doesn't drive the wave, but is its expression.

Energy is dynamic. Which our minds do not process. We think like a motion picture camera, as a sequence of static frames, otherwise the energy would just be a whiteout. Which is what information is; static. We model dynamic sytems as statistics, projections, etc, as ways to capture and model the dynamism. At best, we might see it as fuzziness.

So ask yourself; Is reality inherently static, ie, forms/information? Or is that what we mentally process?

So what is at the base? Qunatum fluctuation of the vacuum? If so, it would seem energy is what drives the forms.
