SV: SV: Information and Natural Languages

Dear Koichiro

I find it difficult to answer your time considerations. But I agree with
you on the muddle of epistemology and ontology - but at the same time I
do not think they are independant. There seems to be ontological
prerequisites in most epistemological views.
