Just want to say I don't agree with the assertion above, if it does (or doesn't) represent B's position. If you look at Soviet diamat philosophy, information formed a permanent problematic within (dialectical) material- ism; the way out turned on medieval ideas of reflection. The 'whatever' above unpacks similarly, since there are ontic issues at work. Language also doesn't possess the genidentity that matter does, which might be the heart of it. Finally, cosmology tends to unpack matter itself, as well as information, albeit differently (vis-a-vis the holographic universe). - Alan _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
