Hi, Loet. Thank you for your message! Firstly because there was no FIS messages since IS4SI... I was wondering, what could be happening?
I have read your article. It is amazing! I liked the way you've organized historically the relationship between the concept of information in a multidimensional perspective. Certainly I will use it for my research and will recommend to my colegues and students :-) Thank you, Um abraço Moisés 2017-09-03 11:06 GMT-03:00 Loet Leydesdorff <l...@leydesdorff.net>: > *Toward a Calculus of Redundancy: > <https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3030525>* > *Signification, Codification, and Anticipation in Cultural Evolution > <https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3030525>* > > Loet Leydesdorff, Mark W.
