All of physics can be described as information, including life (and perhaps consciousness, but I haven’t gone in this direction). Details at

Gershenson, C. (2012). The world as evolving information. In A. Minai, D. Braha, & Y. Bar-Yam (Eds.), Unifying themes in complex systems (pp. 100–115, Vol. 7). Springer. https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://arxiv.org/abs/0704.0304__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!RzFO9HYVBu4tvpMq8jzYK04abXl1-NltnW_mT5KIwLfUFJi8nVhanH92jCdoFMr2yFan_GVD6oWBFhemW04$  

And thanks to Gordana for the other examples.

Best wishes,
Carlos
