Any 'creation' of information (pictures, books, code, etc) is just pruning the huge space of possible information to leave just the information you want. - eviltoast

Like carving a block of stone to leave only the form of a horse.

The stone (or the information space) already contained the horse, and a million other possibilities, the job of the artist is to collapse those possibilities into a single reality.

    Well no. It’s still just a list of text, so that text as well as all other text with minor and major variations exists in the information space. As I said, the hard part is getting rid of all the wrong stuff.
