Such a model perspective of the cognitive approach means that, in this model,
the natural world (NW) is divided into the following components:
the world described by physics, the world of the tangible - the physical world
(PW);
and the world of the abstract, the world of the perception - the abstract world
(AW), in which both matter and energy are used to describe information
(Fig. 2.1.).

The essence of the presented cognitive information model is to show informa-
tion as a binder, an important link between two worlds of event description. It is a
kind of process of recognising the relations between the biological world operat-
ing within the realm of the world of physics, and knowledge in the form of accu-
mulated bases of information taken from the abstract world. The natural world,
described by information, matter and energy, is inseparably connected to the ab-
stract world by information learned and perceived using individual, frequently
unique techniques dependent on the perception methods and the mental context of
the person identifying the specific information. So in the IME model, the defini-
tion of information depends on individual methods of human perception, which
also serve as the element linking the physical and the abstract world, and which
exert a significant impact on the creation of knowledge bases used by cognitive
information systems.
