Abstract

The lecture attacks a fifty‐year‐old paradigm which claims that “information” (as the term is understood by Communication Engineers) cannot have any moral or economic value. We shall show by a Monte Carlo simulated oil‐exploration study how this paradox disappears in the Islamic Interactive, Integrative and Evolutionary (IIE) world model. In the IIE exploration model, information is used to lead to more profit, and (part of) the profit is utilised to gain information.
