Dear Howard:
I am afraid one of your examples is not really accurate historically:
"the most amazing metaphor of relationality available to us is not math,
it's not mechanism, and it's not reduction to "elements," it's
language. by using the metaphor of a form of language called "code,"

Dear Tian-qing Qiao,
Thank you for sharing your view with us and for interesting
parable of five blind men and an elephant. However, I read the
moral of the story just the opposite way.
If we read this allegory with the elephant representing
information, it shows that Information Science with
Dear all,
Thank you for sharing experience regarding your teaching on
the subject related to information. I think it would be a good
idea to create a FIS web page with resources for teaching
about information. It could have either materials or links to
materials which could be used in preparati
Dear all,
I teach every year (this fall fourth time) a general education
course Information Science for freshmen and sophomores which
has as its main objective to present not an existing
discipline, but a potential unified approach to study complex
issues related to globalization. Globalization
Dear Colleagues:
Thank you for many interesting contributions in the first day
of the discussion.
I will try to answer in one entry to three postings from Stan,
Loet, and Steven.

Dear Colleagues:
There are some questions which periodically return to FIS
discussions without conclusive answers. For instance: "What is

Dear Colleagues:
I think Pedro's initiative to redirect the discussion is
excellent. With time, I started to get impression that
because Information Science is so young, our discussions
started to remind a puppy which from time to time is
noticing its tail and comes back to the eternal chase.
Dear Andrei,
Once again thank you for your moderation of our discussion
and for your patience. I would not like to try your patience
more, but I have some questions.
It looks like the discussion has become focused on the
controversy between the realistic and operational
interpretations of qua
Dear Michael,
I am not sure whether I understand your question correctly,
so I can agree conditionally with part of it, but not with
all what you have written. Actually, I do not object the
statements from the latter part, but I do not understand it
well.

I am delighted to have an opportunity to “listen” to the
discussion of quantum information. Thank you Andrei and
Jonathan for the informative and concise introduction, thank
you Andrei for your skillful moderation, and many thanks to
others for interesting contributions. Since
