p.s.: The excerpt you gave was not Kahre's Law. It was simply a disclosure of the reasoning that Kahre used which led to his finding. Which was entirely proper for him to do, in the interest of "full disclosure." (Niels Bohr — one of the greatest scientific epistemologists who ever lived, in addition to so much else in his life's work — would have approved, I'm sure.)

Kahre's Law is simply this: Physical systems cannot produce more information at their output than was present at their input.

I hope this will further clarify matters.

It would, if it were true. But it isn't; it is objectively false as stated. The correct statement is: CLOSED Physical systems cannot produce more information at their output than was present at their input.

It is nothing more than an information theory version of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and does not represent anything new.
