Are you saying Karl that Information theory is the glue that binds energy and entropy production? or the the fabric behind these two concept? If so what is the bridging qualitative and quantitative propositions and formulae for this binding? It's quite something to say this, because one of the

Hi there Guy I'm at a loss still about information you mention below. If one talks about waves, light, sound these are all energy (frequency) concepts. Chemistry and physics are really only about energy, entropy and transduction's and conversions of energy in one form or the other of matter.

Ted Thank you Mark. This promises to be interesting. My view may best be introduced by stating that I believe we are in the business of creating a new science that will depend on new abstractions. These abstractions will extend from the notion of information as a first class citizen, as opposed

Information on its own discreet zeros and one's also don't have any meaning other that the ones we attached to it. A one in our counting system really is a mental creation only. ''One'' finger has more meaning, ''one'' finger in mum's pie has another and 'one'' finger in mums pie and then

There is also an aspect of chemical information that is relevant to biologists more than chemists. As I proposed in my book on Meaningful Information (Springer 2011), this can be defined as detected patterns of matter or energy that have an effect on the detecting entity (i.e. cause a change in

I agree with you both. The declarative statements (4 statements in 2.4.1 Digital Computer versus Brain: Are Neurons and bits really that different?) that are the proof of the entire premise are unable to be proved, have no tests or evidence and are taken as self evident. This path is a dead end.
