Dear Stan, To return to your question, I think that there is a disjunction between our usual logics and the actual, changing world but that it is fatal only in those logics. Logic in Reality reduces to standard logic for simple process phenomena involving minimal interactive aspects - those

Dear Joseph, Perhaps, this is a repeat of a previous discussion and my problem may be based on my confusion of the semantics: both logic and category theory seem to indicate a static (epistemic) scheme in contrast to a calculus. Of course, these schemes allow for updates, but that leads to

Dear Loet, Dear All, Thank you, Loet, for this very clear expression of the state-of-the-art with respect to a dynamic design or measure for meaningful information as associated with negentropy. Today, I would view this position as the analytical skeleton of the real three-level dynamics of
