I agree with Arturo. I understand information exclusively as matter and energy, and the diversity of their states through space/time. What else it there? The alternative would be to accept ‘information’ as merely an heuristic concept that helps us to communicate and make sense of our lives wi

Dear Pedro, The 10 principles cover indeed a lot regarding information science for humans. But I don't see very well an evolutionary coverage highlighting the progressive complexity of information management, from basic life up to humans and also artificial agents. Principles 4 & 5 contain the w

Dear Pedro, Thank you for this very complete and very necessary listing. I will be glad to make some general comments, but I am leaving for two weeks of vacation in Turkey. I promise that my unconscious will be working on the task, and I should have something promptly on my return. I still am

Dear Pedro, dear Arturo and dear FISers, Thank you Pedro for these 10 principles of information science. Even if it happens that somebody could disagree with some of these principles, at least these 10 principles exist and they constitute a suitable basis (if not a reference) for further discussio

Dear Arturo, Math is indeed a language that CAN describe scientific issues, but it is not the only one. And its ability to cuantify scientific issues do not necesarily make it superior. Math and natural language face the same formal and logical problems: they cannot make staments about themselves

Dear FISers, I'm sorry for bothering you, but I start not to agree from the very first principles. The only language able to describe and quantify scientific issues is mathematics.Without math, you do not have observables, and information is observable. Therefore, information IS energy or matter

Dear FIS Colleagues, As promised herewith the "10 principles of information science". A couple of previous comments may be in order. First, what is in general the role of principles in science? I was motivated by the unfinished work of philosopher Ortega y Gasset, "The idea of principle in Lei
