Differences and information: Trying ontological conjunction

The article aims at revealing the ontological transition from differences to information. The difference is shown to be a result of differing on the part of the subject. In the world as it exists by itself differences are preceded by some ontological discreteness (discontinuity) of all existing. The ontological discreteness is further specified by singularity together with dispositionality. Actually, differences become information only in the bosom of communication. In relation to matter and energy, information can be considered as an independent entity. Matter, energy and information have been consistently accented in the historical development of a scientific picture of the world.
