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?
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.
