Dear Jerry, At the risk of being jailed by Pedro, let me point to the beauty of the example: >From a molecular biological perspective, the assertion of “same encoding” of >information is contrary to fact. OK: the coding of the information is species specific; both theoretically and e

Dear Pedro and colleagues, The figure from Weaver in Loet's excellent posting leaves a few aspects outside. The why, the what, the how long, the with whom, and other aspects of the information phenomenon do not enter. By doing that we have streamlined the phenomenon... and have left it ready f

Dear Marcus, Loet, Bob... and All, Again very briefly, your exchanges make clear the limits of the received Shannonian approach and the (narrow?) corridors left for advancement. I find this situation highly reminiscent of what happened with Mechanics long ago: an excellent theory (but of limit
