Information And Locality
I am catching up on the discussion as I have just recently returned . . .
a quick note Steven to let you know I ESPECIALLY enjoyed the Kahn Academy
video on SETI, where the work of Doyle and McCowen was discussed. I seem to
recall Bateson also did some work with dolphins and language (in the same

Cari Tutti,
sforzandomi di interloquire e per quel che riesco a capire, ribadisco i
contenuti dei due messaggi che ho inviato il 12 e il 14 settembre scorsi,

Dear List,
I ended my last note highlighting that Bits are strongly local and their
organization is arbitrary.
The “word” in my last post is the binary word, such as “1010” and not “THIS.”
The latter is more complex than the former, although they both depend upon an
arbitrary organization.
Dear Pedro,
(First, I suspect that there remains an issue with the FIS server.)
I agree with your rejection of the coda “and hence ultimately quantum” and my
particular reason for this is that it effectively denies structuralism. It will
become clear, I hope, in this discussion that for me stru
Thanks Steven. I find it curious that you have referred to
biophysical/physical grounds to establish meaning and apprehension. In
the latter, it is rather unclear for me whether you put together in the
same footing the taking away of a metabolite from the environment and

Just to register.
I watched all Khan Academy videos.
They are awesome!
I will use them with my students.
Thank you.

Caro Terry,
le Tue considerazioni sono sempre creative e stimolanti. Per me
l'informazione è in-centrata sulla forma, sullo stato, sulla condizione
topologica di un qualcosa che può considerarsi un "testo" o con-"testo" il

Variance is a parameter which can be computed for the distribution of
any real random variable having a finite moment of order 2.
It includes Normal, Binomial, Poisson, Exponential, any distribution

However, some statistical tests about the variance assume norm

I'll have to weigh in with Stan on this one. Stan earlier had defined
information more generally as "constraint". It is convenient to employ the
IT calculus to separate constraint from indeterminacy. This is possible in
complete abstraction from anything to do with communication.

Two excellent posts!

This is the start of the next FIS discussion. And this is the first of several
emails kicking the discussion off and divided into logical parts so as not to
confront the reader with too many ideas and too much text at once.
The subject is one that has concerned me ever since I comple
