Information Engines incorporate and implement the rules of information mechanics to accommodate the possibilities and potential of information topography. By expediting what we can do with information without first having to identify what we want to do with it in a particular situation, information engines provide solutions before we know the problem. They provide solutions based on how information works instead of automating solutions based on the legacy limitations of how pencil and paper work; the basis of standard practice IT. We create a vehicle without having to plan every place it will ever be driven. Users have the capability to get answers out of systems simply by asking for them, enabling them to use their own information as needs arise instead of being limited to the programmed results of conventional systems. Tailoring information to specific needs is accomplished by (re-) mapping information, not by the vastly more tedious, costly, and uncertain method of (re-) programming a computer.
