Most of the time we are annoyed by ambiguity. We prefer black and white, clear decisions. However, if we look more closely, these ambiguities offer almost creative potential.
Mathematicians also want clear solutions to equations. However, they accept equations with ambiguities and continue to use them in their solution. At worst, they declare such equations or terms as undefined (for example, 0 divided by 0).
Instead of being annoyed that, for example, the equation x + y = 0 has infinitely many solutions in R, one could also see it as a creative state, namely that the value (0) can arise from the addition of infinitely many combinations of x and y (-1 + 1 = 0; -100.5 + 100.5 = 0; etc.). One can also argue the other way round that all possible solution pairs (x and y) can arise from "0". A creation of information solely through the ambiguity of the solutions? One could argue that numbers can only exist in the context of our logical thinking in our brain. However, one could also have philosophical discourses about this.
If one thinks generally about existence itself, which is perhaps at its core pure information, one would have a way to use the ambiguity to allow something arise from nothing, or rather, nothing and something would just be different sides of the same coin.
