The information model of magic is being developed since about 1987 and there is still considerable debate about the direction it shall ultimately take. Its basic premises to date are as follows:

1. Energy as such is "dumb": it needs information on what to do; this can be so called laws of nature or direct commands.
2. Information does not have mass or energy. Thus, it is faster than light and not bound by the restrictions of the Einsteinian space-time continuum. It can therefore be transmitted or tapped at all times and at all places. In analogy (but of course only as such!) it may be likened to quantum phenomena rather than relativistic mass-energy. It can, however, attach itself to a medium e.g. an organism or any other memory storage device.

At the start of the theoretical debate it was still believed that the postulation of morphic (or, more precisely, morphogenetic) fields as hypothesized by Rupert Sheldrake had to be an essential factor by way of explaining the mode of actual information transmittance. This, however, while still being discussed, does not appear to be strictly prerogative though it cannot be not ruled out that an act of information magic may create such fields. It does seem more probable, though, that the concept of information matrices will prove to be the most promising theory in the long run.

The application of the as yet evolving information model has led to the discipline I have termed Cybermagic (from "cybernetics" or the "science of control systems"). Contrary to the other models described above, Cybermagic does not rely on magical trance to achieve its effects. Rather, the Cybermagician activates either his own main memory banks, namely brain and spine (the Golf-club chakra, so-called because of its shape reminiscent of a golf-club) or those of the target person. The desired information is then called up and transmitted quite similarly to a copy command on an MS-DOS computer. The copy command analogy holds good insofar as the information (not having mass) is not actually "lost" in the process (as energy would be) but rather is duplicated. This is an important point as it allows for the magician to perform his magic even in a state of very low physical power, possibly even when almost completely intoxicated, as long as his basic "life support systems" are still functional and the command syntax is employed correctly.

It is, however, obvious that this technique demands a fair control of what used to be termed kundalini effects and practice has shown ever and again that a good amount of Yoga and meditation experience is a great help in achieving to Cybermagic.

Unfortunately, the full theory and practice of Cybermagic cannot be described here due to lack of space and will thus have to be the subject of a separate article to be published later. To date the main experimental research work is being done within the Magical Pact of the Illuminates of Thanateros (IOT) and some quite astounding results have already been achieved, especially in the field of language and knowledge transfer as well as magical healing.

In spite of its very modern, untraditionalist outlook the basic principles of Cybermagic may in truth well be the oldest form of magic extant. For we can, for example, find a number of reports in the East to the effect of a guru transferring all his knowledge to his successor before his death, which is usually achieved by an act of long, mutual meditation.

This goes to show that magic as a whole has always existed in many, coexisting models. What has changed, however, is the stress laid on one model or the other in the course of time.

en fait l'univers n'est constitué que d'information. l'univers dans son intégralité n'est qu'une information qui indique quel sera son état à l'instant d'après. dans l'absolu, l'univers est donc rigoureusement prédictible, cependant, on ne peut appréhender cette information gigantesque que de l'extérieur de l'univers, puisque forcément l'univers est trop petit pour se contenir lui-même et la volonté qui va l'utiliser.

si on voit un transfert d'information comme un rayon de lumière, chaque parcelle d'information est un petit miroir filtrant qui va refléter la lumière du reste de l'univers accessible autour de lui. la dynamique est assurée par le fait que la couleur de la lumière renvoyée par un miroir dépend de la couleur de la lumière qu'il reçoit de tous les autres miroirs, et que la couleur des autres miroirs dépend de la lumière de ce miroir dans les instants précédents.

comme l'univers n'est constitué que d'informations-miroir, on est en droit de se demander d'où est venu le premier rayon de lumière. cependant, en tant que constituant de l'univers, il est également valable de se dire qu'on ne pourra savoir d'où vient la lumière qu'en arrivant à s'extraire de l'univers, et de contempler celle qui est déjà là à se refléter depuis le début de l'univers.

Information does not have mass or energy. -> l'information a des conséquences sur la dynamique de l'univers, mais elle n'en fait ontologiquement pas physiquement partie, elle est toujours à un niveau d'abstraction plus haut que les entités sur lesquelles elle agit
