Hi, Loet.
Thank you for your message!
Firstly because there was no FIS messages since IS4SI...
I was wondering, what could be happening?
I have read your article. It is amazing!
I liked the way you've organized historically the relationship between
the concept of information in a multidimensional perspective.
Certainly I will use it for my research and will recommend to my
colegues and students :-)
Thank you,
Um abraço

Signification, Codification, and Anticipation in Cultural Evolution

Abstract
Whereas the generation of Shannon-type information is coupled to the
second law of thermodynamics, redundancy—that is, the complement of
information to the maximum entropy—can be increased by making further
distinctions. The dynamics of discursive knowledge production can thus
infuse the historical dynamics with a cultural evolution. Providing
the information with meaning first proliferates the number of options.
Meanings are provided with hindsight at positions in the vector space,
as against relations in the network space. The main axes
(eigenvectors) of the vector space map the codes of the communication
spanning horizons of meaning; the codes structure the communications
as selection mechanisms. Unlike hard-wired DNA, the codes of
non-biological systems co-evolve with the variation. Discursive
knowledge can be considered as meta-coded communication which enables
us to entertain models of the processing of meaning and information.
This reinforces the hindsight perspective and can turn codification
reflexively into coding anticipation. The dynamics of information,
meaning, and knowledge can be evaluated empirically using the sign of
mutual information as an indicator.
