Embodied framing creates meaning and thereby information

Evidence

[A]ny technical circuit or image is necessarily the product of an embodied framing of information […]. Insofar as it serves to actualize the equipotentiality of the living in empirical informational circuits, framing furnishes the mechanism through which meaning inheres in information, and for this reason, can properly be said to create information. — Yves Citton, The Ecology of Attention, 539
