let me wish for the subject of
"LINEARISATION OF STRUCTURED SETS"
and
"MOST PROBABLE STATES OF SETS"
These two subjects will make FIS to be included in each and all textbooks on the history of science,
if they appear first on these pages.
Confidently yours
Karl/Kurt

> SOME SUGGESTED DESIDERATA FOR A SCIENCE OF INFORMATION
>
>
> 1. Incorporate and integrate parts of existing technical subjects which
> currently are scattered among other disciplines:
> -- Communication theory.
> -- Complexity theory.
> -- Probability theory.
> -- Automata theory and cellular automata.
> -- Networks and graphs.
> -- Multidimensional partitions.
> -- Semiotics.
> -- "Natural Computer Science."
>
>
> 2. Make contact with well structured classical disciplines and recent
> explorations such as:
> -- Physics ("information physics", "quantum
information").
> -- Chemistry ("molecular recognition",
"chemoinformatics").
> -- Biology ("bioinformation", "bioinformatics",
"biocomputing").
> -- Neurociences ("neuroinformation": origins of NS,
action/perception
> cycle, consciousness).
> -- Economics ("information economy", economic networks).
> -- Social Sciences (socioinformation, "information society",
sustainable
> development).
>
>
> 3. Distil simple guiding principles (called "themata" by Gerald
Holton)
> such as:
> -- Ockam's razor.
> -- Data compression.
> -- Universality (Turing machine, coding conventions).
> -- Second law principles (Law of diminishing information).
> -- Bayesian probability.
> -- Zeilinger's principle (or alternatives).
>
>
> 4. Advancement of an informational philosophy:
> -- Informational causation.
> -- Externalism vs. internalism (& agency).
> -- Reduction vs. integration (reductionism vs. wholism).
> -- Multidisciplinary "consilience".
> -- Information ethics.
> -- Search for heuristic / predictive value in information science (or
build
> new bridges among disciplines).
> -- Search for terminology unification (creation and maintenance of an
> informational-interdisciplinary dictionary of terms which mean the same
in
> different theoretical fields & disciplinary areas (1 & 2)).
