On Information Theory - Interested in Contributing or Chairing the Session Dear Pedro and Colleagues,
let me propose a session on Information Theory. We could * define the order concept * define information being a specific order being (not being) the case * show ways of numerical assignments to different states (phases, extents) of information * discuss the material, spatial and energetical implications of information On interest additional background themes would be * overwiev of history of epistemology * neurological distortions of a rational approach to epistemology (artefacts of neurology). The subject is well communicable. Karl 2011/1/18 Pedro C. Marijuan <pcmarijuan.i...@aragon.es> > Dear FIS Colleagues, > > Thanks to Yixin for his Colophon.
