Dear Loet,
Shannon "information" is indeed counter-intuitive, and we have John von
Neumann's joke to thank for that confusion.Shannon asked von Nuemann what
to name his formula. von Neumann told him to name it "entropy", because his
metric is "formally identical to von Boltzmann's probabilistic

Dear Terry and colleagues,
I agree that one should not confuse communication with the substance of
communication (e.g., life in bio-semiotics). It seems useful to me to
distinguish between several concepts

Dear Pedro and colleagues,
2. Eigenvectors of communication. Taking the motif from Loet, and
continuing with the above, could we say that the life cycle itself
establishes the eigenvectors of communication? It is intriguing that
maintenance, persistence, self-propagation are the essential
