Dear FIS Colleagues,


A member of our list, Moises Andre Nisenbaum, is investigating for his  PhD 
the interdisciplinary links between Physics and Information Science. One  
of the data sources of his empirical research is the FIS mailing list itself. 
 Because of this, he wants to directly ask list members, as well as filling 
in  a questionnaire. Would you help him to make this request? He will 
publish the  directions in the list.


Thanks in advance,

[Fis] FIS Survey for PhD research.

[PEDRO CLEMENTE MARIJUAN FERNANDEZ]

Dear FIS Colleagues,

A member of our list, Moises Andre Nisenbaum, is investigating for his PhD the 
interdisciplinary links between Physics and Information Science. One of the 
data sources of his empirical research is the FIS mailing list itself. Because 
of this, he wants to directly ask list members, as well as filling in a 
questionnaire. Would you help him to make this request? He will publish the 
directions in the list.

Thanks in advance,

Re: [Fis] Fis Digest, Vol 28, Issue 22

[Francesco Rizzo]

Caro Loet e colleghi,
le leggi naturali o fisiche sono leggi economiche. Questo affermano anche
Konrad Lorenz e Ernst Mach. Non v'ha niente di meglio - per essere coerenti
con tale concezione che il mio l'approccio epistemologico o la teoria del
valore della "Nuova economia" - che  non sia direttamente o indirettamente
legato al triangolo delle tre neg-entropie o dei tre surplus. Triangolo che
analizza e usa ogni forma di conoscenza, avente sempre fondamenti
biologici, basata sull'informazione termodinamica (gradiente termico),
genetica, semantica e sintattico-matematica. Tutti i processi
dell'esistenza e della conoscenza, nessuno escluso, sono sempre processi di
tras-informazione o ad-attamento o ex-attamento i cui "input" sono materia,
energia e informazione ed i cui "output" sono ancora materia, energia e
informazione in stato diverso. Ciò premesso - a mio modesto, ma consapevole
e convinto parere - le distinzioni di cui spesso sono oggetto la biologia,
l'economia, la semiotica, la matematica, etc., sono operazioni
contro-natura che rischiano di diventare contro-cultura, cioè prive di
effettiva ed empirica corrispondenza con la realtà.
Più tempo passa, più sono portato a sostenere questa visione
teorico-pratica, senza mancare di rispetto a nessuno. Non mi manca
l'umiltà, ma sono maggiormente provvisto di onestà intellettuale unita alla
vocazione principale della libertà di espressione. Tuttavia, non manco di
apprendere e di accogliere le critiche volte a rilevare miei eventuali
difetti cognitivi, al fine di correggerli.
Un saluto affettuoso e grato.
Francesco
