    We define semantic information as the syntactic information that a physical system has about its environment which is causally necessary for the system to maintain its own existence.

    “Causal necessity” is defined in terms of counter-factual interventions which scramble correlations between the system and its environment, while “maintaining existence” is defined in terms of the system’s ability to keep itself in a low entropy state.
