On Information Theory - Interested in Contributing or Chairing the Session
Dear Pedro and Colleagues,
let me propose a session on Information Theory. We could
* define the order concept
* define information being a specific order being (not being) the case
* show ways of numerical assignments to different states (phases, extents)
of information
* discuss the material, spatial and energetical implications of information
On interest additional background themes would be
* overwiev of history of epistemology
* neurological distortions of a rational approach to epistemology (artefacts
of neurology).
The subject is well communicable.

Dear FIS Colleagues,
Thanks to Yixin for his Colophon. I was a nice way to close the past
discussion session on Intelligence and Information and to reconnect
with our mail exchanges in this New Year. As for the coming sessions,
there are a few commitments and possibilities prepared.
--Theme: Historical Foundations of Modern Science. It will be chaired by
James Hannam, author of a very recent (and successful) book on the
topic. I will send further info about the book and the planned session
next days. It is the first time we approach science and society, with
the inherent relationship between different modes of knowledge, from an
historical perspective --quite an experiment in our list! We would begin
the session around 1st February.
-- Theme: On Information Theory. Although different parties have been
interested in a session on Axiomatics, Centrality, Applications, etc.,
the session is not well defined yet. More concrete suggestions (and
chairs or co-chairs) will be welcome. Given that a General Information
Theory real conference will be organized by Krassimir within the ITHEA
series this Summer (the announcement will be post soon) we could make
sort of a preparatory discussion around middle of March or so.
-- Theme: Foundations of Social Information Science. This discussion
session has been proposed by the colleagues of the Beijing FIS Group,
to be chaired by Xueshan et al. It would take place around Spring time.
Suggestions on the above, or about further themes, will be appreciated;
they can be posted directly into the list or sent off line to my own
address... It will be nice sharing the discussions amongst our Info
community for another year!
all the best,
---Pedro
