Hence, the information to do all of this must come from somewhere (perhaps SomeOne) apart from the processes...an intelligence of great magnitude.

Assuming that to be the case, and that the term "information" is consistent with the definition you posted earlier, who would be the other party in the required mutual agreements?

If you study a foreign language, such as I did when I was in grad school and studied Hebrew, you have to learn the symbols, the syntax of Hebrew, and the meaning of the Hebrew words derived from the application of the syntax to the Hebrew symbols.

Since there is no "learning' possible in the case of DNA, there has to be an agreement between the nucleotides and the amino acid molecules. Since both are inanimate, someone has to have established the relationship.

There is no naturalistic explanation for the relationship...apart from intelligence. Since there are only four nucleotides in the "DNA alphabet" (combined into sixty four combinations) and twenty amino acids, the relationships cannot be explained by chemistry. It is an irreducible structure, requiring intelligent intervention.

I sounds like you’re declaring it to be “information” based on a definition that it cannot meet. It’s submitted both that information requires a mutual agreement, and that no such agreement is possible.
