Yes, Happy New Year to all! . . . But, I confess to some confusion. ● On seeing the offered New Years session, I wondered 'Why? Hasn't this issue long been overtaken by events?' Still I was happy to follow along and see if I might learn something new . . . but it seems my initial intuition was correct(?) I am still looking for more specific comments to be offered by Prof. Rossler.
● And then there is matter of 'old business' that is still being discussed!? John Collier's note left me wondering what his latest version of his own model looked like (John: could you please send me a recent draft, that I might study it more closely?) I know of Terry's work already and feel I know if fairly well, although I look forward to hearing more recent developments. I have my own offering on this front (re June-July FIS session) which can be found at https://issuu.com/mabundis/docs Both Terry and John have influenced my own thinking on this matter (I easily confess). ● Re Alex H's post . . . I have some general sympathy for the view he offered, but I thought this was the type histrionic commentary that was not going to be tolerated any more? It would be nice to see firm critical thinking as the lingua franca here . . . ● I echo Terry's interest in Loet's note on a calculus of redundancy, and hope to hear more. ● I am happy to follow any direction this New Year's session ultimately follows . . . but I also confess to holding more innate interest in continuing the exploration of 'the essence of information' vein initiated late December. In my now-almost-two-years with FIS, this one topic continually re-surfaces whenever the 'named session topic' seems to loose steam. It is for that recurrent reason that I thought to make my own offering last June-July, but we know how that went . . . I look forward to further guidance, and to contributing when and where I can . . . Marcus
