Hi all,
I posted this earlier, but seems it got lost in the shuffle.
Perhaps it is so self-evident, and that there is nothing really much
to argue with, so no one said anything. Though if that is the case,
then maybe it is worthwhile to take as a common basis we can all work
with.

0. A belief is an independent-clause (sentence).
0a) You can call it an information packet or w/e you prefer.
1. Truth is a private belief.
1a) A person has a cluster of harmonious beliefs which form a template
for sieving input.
1b) Beliefs which align with the template are "True".
1c) Beliefs which are not applicable to the template are noise or
confusing.
1d) Beliefs which conflict with the template are either discarded, or
the template is modified to align with them. (to avoid cognitive
dissonance).
2. Knowledge consists of experienced beliefs, typically those that
have been subsumed by the template. For instance "false" belief could
subsume as beliefs held by an other community.
3. Real are the mutual beliefs of a community of people.
3a) facts are elements of the real.
3b) By Integrated Information Theory, even protons have some
consciousness. for example an atom communicates it's beliefs about
it's location and frequency when probed by a photon. So the beliefs of
"inanimate matter" must also be taken into consideration of what is
real. The beliefs of inanimate matter, as measured by mechanical and
electronic tools are typically what is described as "objective reality".
4. Dialogue is the exchange of beliefs.

## compatibility
The independent-clause basis is compatible with that a certain piece
of writing is not information in and of itself, but only when it is
processed by someone/something that can make sense of it -- otherwise
it is merely noise.
## explanatory power
This helps explain why humans and computers need to have a libraries
or previous template in order to process certain information. As
otherwise it just falls through the sieve.
## predictive power
similarly it predicts what kind of information would work for a given
information processing system, and what would be shrugged off as noise.
And gives a well defined path to making information accessible --
by adding in the libraries to make it possible for the sieve to catch.
## stateless function example
Now a stateless function wouldn't be able to demonstrate all that,
since it doesn't have memory. But it can demonstrate a subset.
For instance a function P that accepts integers and adds one.
function plusOne(input) {
var template = input | 0;
return template + 1;
}
1.
plusOne(1) would give you 2.
plusOne(1.2) wouldn't work since it contradicts the template, so you'd
have garbage output, or no output.
2. 3.
It doesn't have knowledge as it lacks state,
4. it can dialogue or communicate it's output to another function via
it's return value.
## simple state function example
Now if we take a more complex example, a simple state function P' that
adds the input to an accumulator, and then outputs the result;
var accumulator = 0;
function plusGather(input) {
var template = input | 0;
accumulator += template;
return accumulator + template;
}
1.
again here the template would lose some information from any
non-integer input.
2.
it now has some knowledge, and it integrates what it gets through it's
template.
3.
doesn't have beliefs about the external world
4. can still dialogue in the same manner
## simple proton object example
Now lets make a simplified proton object.
var energy = 0;
var reflectArray = [3, 8, 9];
const fermion = 0;
const photon = 1;
function proton(type, frequency) {
if (type !== fermion && type !== photon) return [];
if (type === photon) {
if (reflectArray.indexOf(frequency) >= 0) {
return [photon, frequency];
} else {
energy += frequency;
}
} else if ( type === fermion) { // a bump from another atom
energy = (energy + frequency)/2; // average frequency
return [fermion, energy];
}
}
1. so now anything that's not either a fermion or a photon will be
ignored.
2. photons unless reflected increase the internal energy, thus
contributing to knowledge. Additionally could add a section that
after a certain energy level it would make a setTimeout to release
extra energy as photons.
3. it is capable of interacting with fermions, so if it gets bumped
then it averages their energy and returns the result, so the bumping
fermion can adjust it's internal energy state also.
4. it communicates through return values.
Obviously this is a hyper simplified example.
But in nature it is somewhat similar, in that fermions exchange boson
information packets or independent-clauses that help them co-ordinate
activities and interact with each other.
They also modify their internal state based on these interaction, and
can hold electrons in common.
