Dear FISers,
After the provided long list of completely different definitions of the term
"information", one conclusion is clear: there is not a scientific, unique
definition of information.
Nobody of us is able to provide an operative framework and a single (just one!)
empirical testable prevision able to assess "information".
For example, what does "semantics" and "meaning" mean, in empirical terms?
Therefore, to talk about information is meaningless, in the carnapian sense.
Judging from your answers, the most of you are foremost scientists. Therefore,
my proposal is to forget about information, and to use your otherwise very
valuable skills and efforts in other fields.
It is a waste of your precious time to focus yourself in something that is so
vague. It is, retrospectively, a mistake to state that the world is
information, if nobody knows what does it mean.
