Re: [Fis] Fw: Responses
Dear colleagues, This discussion and reading the beautiful book of Bob Logan entitled What is information? (shortly forthcoming) made me go back to reading MacKay (1969) once more. I cannot find the distinction that makes a difference as it is quoted by Floridi (2005) -- and thereafter repeated by many -- so that I think that the honour goes to Bateson (1973) for a difference which makes a difference. MacKay, however, makes the point, for example, on p. 136 that the sentence S is a source of information is incomplete. It must always be completed (even if sometimes implicitly) in the form 'S is a source of information to receiver R'. Two sentences later he calls this significant information that must be capable of embodying and abiding by an agreed code or symbolic calculus. Elsewhere, he distinguishes this substantive concept of information from amounts of information that can be measured using (Shannon's) information theory. It seems to me that any discourse (physics, biology, psychology, sociology, etc.) can be further informed specifically in terms that are defined within and relevant to the specific discourse. This accords with the intuitive sense of information as meaningful information: meaningful for a discourse. Shannon's definition of information is counter-intuitive, but it provides us with a calculus that has major advantages. Katherine Hayles suggested that the two concepts can be compared with the discussion of whether a glass is half-full or half-empty. A Chinese colleague (Wu Yishan) once told me that in Chinese one has two words: sjin sji and tsin bao which correspond respectively to Shannon's and Bateson's definitions of information. A substantive definition of information (e.g., as a distinction that makes a difference for a receiver) requires the specification of the concept in a theory about the receiving system. This definition is therefore a priori system-specific; for example, for some of us this system is physics; for others it is biological discourse. At this level, one can again abstract from the substance and use Shannon's IT as entropy statistics. Sometimes, this allows us to explore the use of algorithms developed in one field (e.g., biology) in another (e.g., sociology). Concepts such as autopoiesis or auto-catalysis have carried these functions. For example, in the context of Ascendency Theory, Bob Ulanowicz showed how one can use the mutual information in three dimensions as an indicator of systemness. I use that as a systems indicator when operationalizing the triple helix of university-industry-government relations. Such translations of metaphors are always in need of further elaboration because the theoretical context changes and thus the specification of what the information means. However, the advantage to be able to measure in bits (nats or dits) frees us from the philosophical confusion about what information is. In my opinion, information can only be defined within a discourse. The mathematical definition of Shannon has specific functions which enable us to combine with different discourses (among which, specifically physics since S = k(B)*H). H, however, is dimensionless and defined as the expected information content of a message *before* it is received. It is yet to be provided with meaning. One could consider this meaninglesness as the specific difference of a mathematical concept of information. (Perhaps, it is easier to use uncertainty for this mathematical concept.)

Re: [Fis] Probability Amplitudes
Dear Andrei, Hans and all I agree with Andrei. And why make quantum theory more complex than it is? One may use all kinds of mathematical tools in a scientific theory, and the more these tools simplify calculations the better. I see no reason to avoid using amplitudes or matrices in quantum theory. Using a mathematical concept for making calculations doesn't entail that I accept that that concept represent a physical property. To Hans: Where exactly did Einstein wrote that one should avoid unmeasurable concepts in the description of Nature? I can't remember having read that. The issue is how we should interpret quantum theory, in particular the wave function, i.e., probability amplitudes; are they just mathematical tools, or do they describe real physical features of quantum systems? I believe the latter alternative is true and so did Schrödinger. But there are formidable difficulties to give a realistic interpretation of wave functions, and Schrödinger didn't succeed. But I think the difficulties can be overcome and I have published my views about these things (Lars-Göran Johansson: Interpreting Quantum Mechanics.

[Fis] Frequentists, Bayesians and Jaynesians - assumptions and consequentces
Dear colleagues, Encouraged by your recent exchanges, which show that the topic of Hans' New Year Lecture is far from exhausted, I would like to think a bit more on the fundamental change from Frequentist to Bayesian statistics. Hans writes: “On the one hand each individual agent assembles the totality of her experiences (experimenting, reading, talking, calculating...) into a web of probability assignments that is as coherent and comprehensive as possible. That's the easy part, and, as usual, physicists have picked it as their domain. But the hard part is the effort of agents to correlate their private experiences -- i.e. to communicate with each other in order to develop a common scientific worldview. Agent A's description of an experience serves as input for updating B's personal probability assignments via Bayes' law. And this is done through language as well as math.” (Hans mail from Saturday, January 18, 2014 6:47 PM) Reading the above I conclude that QBist change of perspective is not only relevant for quantum physics, or physics in general. It is relevant for all sciences based on observations and experiments. And indeed, among others, brain researchers are using Bayesian statistics. However, there are brain researchers arguing for the necessity of going beyond Bayes: http://www.mdpi.com/2078-2489/3/2/175 Beyond Bayes: On the Need for a Unified and Jaynesian Definition of Probability and Information within Neuroscience by Christopher D.

[Fis] Probability Amplitudes in Macroscopic Processes
Dear Lars-Göran, Andrei and Hans, As you (I hope) have seen, I am trying to see how the evolution of macroscopic processes can be described in terms of changing probabilities, and I am encouraged to believe this is possible. If you allow the extension from QM, all of the following would seem to allow this (I am not concerned about whether QM itself becomes more or less complex): 1. Andrei confirms that the probability (in LIR, degree of potentiality or actuality) of a phenomenon can have a direction. 2. Lars-Göran says that probability amplitudes can represent real physical features. 3. Even though /a contrario/, Hans wrote: In order to make contact with real, measurable quantities, it (the probability amplitude) must be multiplied by its complex conjugate. This recipe is called the Born rule, and it is an ad hoc addition to the quantum theory. It lacks any motivation except that it works. In my Logic in Reality, since there is a reciprocal relation between actuality and potentiality, each should be the complex conjugate of the other. I have no problem in the two summing to 1 if the values of 0 or 1 are excluded for either of them. This non-quantum aspect of reality could provide the missing motivation for the recipe in quantum theory ;-) I am certainly looking for a measurable (or estimatable) quantity of the actuality and potentiality of interactive processes that is not a standard probability of outcomes, but of changing macroscopic states. This is of course an 'underdeveloped' concept, but I am encouraged to believe that this idea of another set of very special probabilities is neither totally wrong nor totally trivial.

Re: [Fis] Probability Amplitudes in Macroscopic Processes
Let me clarify one point: by saying that probability amplitudes represent real physical features I reject the instrumentalist idea that they are mere calculational devices. But of course, the probability amplitude is no observable. But there is no need to claim that only observables have any physical significance. Robert Chen has, in a couple of papers argued that the square of real part of the wave function could be interpreted as the system's kinetic energy, whereas the square of the imaginary part represents the potential energy of the system. It is as far as I can see a possible and reasonable interpretation.
