Re: [Fis] Continuing Discussion of Social and Cultural Complexity

reply to Karl:

In fact I meant "it creates informational entropy" for an external observer.

For the sake of precision, we may say that diversity neither get created nor it is always there - it evolves - initially there was no diversity at all, than it increased discontinuously in evolutionary time.

  Let me add to Igor's points about instability:
  "Redundancy/diversity, on
  the other hand, is essential ... It creates informational entropy and gives a momentum to
  material/energy entropy production ..."
  that
  redundancy/diversity DOES NOT GET CREATED it isd always there, but we choose to neglect it, because Darwin has preferred those who recognise the constant, alike, similar before the background of diversity and similarity.
  The background DOES NOT GET CREATED by the figures in the foreground, it is there.
  In our case, it is the background of discontinuity before which we recognise the uniformity, continuity and existence of our logical units.
