Dear FIS colleagues, The point below is quite interesting. In what extent is physical information a well-established concept, or maybe a new disciplinary branch in the making? And what happens with chemical information thus? And biological information? And all the others--neuronal

[Fis] Absence and life

Dear FIS colleagues, Thanks to the late discussants; particularly it was a pleasure reading the elegant comments on cosmic computation by Bob (Logan). There was also a previous message on info and absences by Bob (Ulanowicz) that should be discussed at length. About Terry's book, now I have
