Dear Krassimir, Thank you for bringing this document to our attention, for completeness. I would have wished, however, that you had made some comment on it, putting it into relation with your own work and, for example, that of Mark Burgin, which are dismissed out of hand.
>From my point of view, Sunik's work is another one of those major steps backwards to an earlier, easier time when it was claimed that computer algorithms could provide "all you know, and all you need to know" about information. One example of a phrase the author presents as involving meaning is "Peter's shirt size". . . >From a methodological standpoint, I think it underlines, /a contrario/, the danger of focus on a single approach to information. My current idea, which I propose for discussion, is that a document purporting to offer a theory of information should provide a reasoned, comparative discussion of 4 to 5 theories. This number is large enough for judgments to be possible on a preferred approach and small enough for the average reader, like myself, to keep the similarities and differences in mind.
