Dear Professor Mani:
Thank you for your well- formulated response. Of course, type theory and its
many variations are critical to establishing correspondence between nature and
mathematics. But it fails to satisfy the needs of chemists, biologists and
physicians for a consistent approach to

not having read Shannon and Weaver, my concept of entropy now relates only to the physical world, that is realworld systems with their system space being the real dimensions x, y, z, resp. longitude, broadness and altitude. And I think, that Jons definition is correct. The other kind of

I want to thank Jerry for bringing to my attention Miller's impressive
book, Living Systems [1], which I thought I had thumbed through once
but did not: I simply conflated it with another book.
Miller's book is the first biology book that I have seen so far that
