Glen,
Nearly all you say fits closely with my approach, except the word 'any' in the
following quote.
To the contrary, I assume every actual system has an inherent
hierarchicability (following the word extensibility) with respect to
any observer(s). In other words, a system can be projected

Thank you for drawing this excellent review to our attention. References to
differing views from D'Espaganat is very helpful. In any case, the review
does not negate my essential point but only adds to it, and that is the
fundamental difficulties with trying to establish some foundation for
All,
I confess I have not followed the mathematical side of this discussion into
the blue underlined stuff. Nor do I claim to understand all of the plain
text.
However, I am tempted by the idea of a mathematical formalization of
natural design. Here is the argument: What EVERYBODY --from
Quick thought. Isn't 'designedness' directly proportional to a local
reduction in entropy (= a measure of disorder, etc.) ? There's lots of
math on entropy.

In short we need a dynamical theory. But such a theory will never happen
until we have a sufficiently subtle (and verbalizable) mathematical
formalization of the momentary relation between organisms and
Well, given that I am referring to a PATTERN, and patterns are a form of
negentropy, I think I am required to agree.

Hi,
If I've been looking at the one laptop per child source code, and I'm

You might go blind programming the thing with the thing. Screen is
pretty small and the keyboard is not designed for big fingers.
Nevertheless, despite the language deficiencies :-) I did the

Hi
So much has been said about OLPC (one laptop per child) for poor children in
the third world. It's wonderful and I'm sure it will help to reduce poverty
and enhance children's minds. Now Third world only got to get 200 millions
of children out of their jobs and guarantee for many of them at
