Dear Colleagues,
Relating information with intelligence seems to me important for several
reasons. I will try to suggest that intelligence might be a good conceptual
tool if we want to anchor our understanding of information and knowledge in the
natural world.

>The minimal claim would be that there is no intelligence without
information. For an agent, intelligence is the ability to face the >world in
a meaningful way and it increases with the number of different ways an agent
is able to respond with.
It seems to me that this implies, in a
I suppose semioticians are interested in an individual human's sense-making in
a context of human society.
Or perhaps a social animal's sense making.
What I think about is how life forms organize to produce increasingly complex
patterns of information processing.

Kumiko Tanaka-Ishii has recently written an excellent little book, The
Semiotics of Programming, which may be of interest in connecting
semiosis with machine-like processes like that of computation.

Interpretation of information builds more information, which again becomes

based upon changed conditions of life. But in this case there is not more
(genetic) information, but rather recently altered information
Hi,
I've been meaning to send a note on Kevin Kirby's brief outline of
Conrad's fluction framework, but haven't had the time to compose my
thoughts coherently. I realised that I wouldn't really have the time
to do so, so I had better send something half-baked along anyway to

Dear Sri,
Thank you for your note, since I was "unhappy" with the point at which the
discussion seemed to end. Your perspective on the structure of living
organisms seems quite pertinent to the theme of
information processes. It is clearly related to Kaufmann-Logan "biotic"
information.
