Dear discussants,
I tend to disagree with the motto information is physical if taken too
strictly. Obviously if we look downwards it is OK, but in the upward
direction it is different. Info is not only physical then, and the
dimension of self-construction along the realization of life cycle

Greetings All,
While I like to think that I am not limited to reductionistic thinking, I find
it difficult to understand any perspective on information that is not limited
to physical manifestation. I would appreciate further justification for a
non-physicalist perspective on information. How
Dear FISers,
Indeed information can be considered downwards (physical meaningless) and
upwards (biological meaningful). The difference being about
interpretation or not.
It also introduces an evolutionary approach to information processing and
meaning generation.
There is a chapter
Dear FISers:
Pedro and Plamen raise good and welcomed points regarding the nature of
physics, information, and biology. Although I believe in a strong relationship
between information and physics in biology, there are striking examples where
direct correspondences between information,
Hi FISers
Can anyone show me a calculus for Information relating to biological systems?
And if so show me the relationship with conceptual mathematics?

Dear Kevin and FIS,
Searching for Andrei's articles, I found

and in the abstract there is a claim:
Therefore, mental states, during perception cognition of ambiguous figures,
follow quantum mechanics.
I am not an expert by any means but I
Thank you Gordana for your reply. But I'm not sure whether not you
misunderstood my comments about a direct correspondence between information and
physics in biology. So, I thought I should stress my point from a slightly
different approach.
Khrennikov and colleagues, for instance, often refer
Dear Gordana,
There are for me many question marks in ascriptions of quantum properties to
complex cognitive phenomena. The inversion of perspective I propose. using
Deacon's term, is to see processes of superposition as common both to quantum
phenomena as simplified projections of mental
