Dear Joseph,
Thank you for your answers. They provoked in me the following comments: 1. I agree with you about the totally abstract and idealized character of Hegelian terms. 2. In your first post you said: Order and disorder: simply, no real process is totally ordered or disordered, and does not have to be so considered in my logic. Every process includes both a tendency to degradation of information (via the 2nd Law) and creation of new information, morphogenesis, new functionality based ultimately on the differentiation or diversification of elements possible due to the Pauli Exclusion Principle for electrons. Q. Your LIR is a kind of dynamic logic which intends to reveal the way things, events, success, etc. works in reality. This, then, claims for a new ontology or metaphysics; could you say something about it? Also, it claims for some epistemological approaches about truth, confirmation, etc. Your picture about reality is of continuous nature and the relations between levels are changing, but you think in certain border conditions that in turn change depending of some specific circumstances? If I read you well, the fundamental source of novelties are found in the properties of electrons? The dynamical nature of physical reality since atomic level (due to its properties) contains the seeds of novelty? But it doesnt happen if there are no transitions between potentialities and actualities in some specific phenomenon. Adaptability in an informational vision: I claim that LIR includes an new element of structure that is common to such domains as cells, societies and brains that avoids absolute separation between "internal" and "external", "presence" and "absence" in phenomena that are sufficiently complex. The problems associated with "self-"production or autopoësis are avoided since the information necessary for emergence of higher level entities is carried not only by the actualities but the potentialities of the lower-level elements (atoms, chemicals, macromolecules, organs, etc.) Q. With your LIR logic you could address the problem of what is sufficiently complex phenomenon For instance, if we consider sufficiently complex the folding protein problem containing not only the dynamics of protein since its unfolding to its native state, but the dynamic of chaperones, the micro-differential changes in the charges of internal milieu and possible other factors, your LIR could help to clarify some remaining questions in this issue? On the other hand, with the emergence of higher level properties like our cognitive capacities, your LIR would be an interesting tool to address the emergence of global cognitive phenomena? Not only more information but information-with-meaning? 3. I think it is better to read your book Sincerely, Walter *************************************** Walter Riofrio Theoretical and Evolutionary Biology Researcher Associate Professor; Peruvian University Cayetano Heredia.
