The laws of physics model the workings of natural phenomena so nearly comprehensively that the physicists have begun to articulate thoughts in terms of 'Theory of Everything'. Yet, there are certain phenomena, in particular, in the domain of our subjective abilities that make those thoughts possible, and our abilities to have purposeful aims and intentions, remain outside the scientific discourse. It is clear then that in the development of modern scientific thinking, certain properties and perspectives of natural function have remained ignored or unexplored. On the other hand, we may ask, does information have an existential reality? Could it exist without having a physical substratum, such as electronic register holding a bit of information, quantum states holding a qubit of information, and neurons representing the whole gamut of semantics of information? If information is not naturally associated with physical substratum, then could it ever emerge by any mechanism? The answer appears to be in the negative. In this article, it is especially worked out, how information is naturally associated with each state description of physical entities, and how natural information processing takes place at each physical interaction. It is further shown, how a self organizing system may evolve by natural processes such that elements of our thoughts and purposeful goals may emerge.
