Re: [Fis] Re: What is the definition of information ?

...or should we aspire to elaborate a clearer vision of the whole problem?

Dear Pedro -- wouldn't it be exciting if a useful definition, or a program
of definitions, could come out of this collective, open process? It would
be something new in science, and very appropriate in the computer age.

Around 1850 there were at least twelve people who proposed something
resembling the law of conservation of energy, but of course they didn't
communicate much. But they were zeroing in on the same goal. Maybe now is
the time for that to happen with the concept of information.

Cheers,
Hans
