The essay proposes an approach to the problem of divergence between the domain of the mathematical laws and that of aims and intentions based on the realtionship between reality and information. We show at first that a mathematical representation is possible only for those phenomena about which we have information. We shall then argue that, because of the discreteness of information, all mathematical model of reality must be discrete too. Since the latter includes phenomena such as subjective experiences, but also as motion and change, which we believe happen in a continuous dimension, we affirm that mathematical models cannot describe many of their aspects. Lastly, we suggest a hypothesis about why we have no information on intentionality and consciousness.
