Re: [Fis] Bell\\\'s inequality: Can we find its classical analogue? Classical and Quantum waves

Dear John and colleagues,

Thanks for the rigorous philosophical directions to connect with. Getting
ahead with the speculation business, here there are a few related "pills"
that perhaps could be matched with aspects of the current discussion:

-- physical (and biological?) information: as a distinction on the adjacent
(taking "distinction" in Karl's set theory sense).

-- principle of "limited information" (behind measurement, complementarity,
and perhaps entanglement?).

-- vacuum energy and quantum fluctuations: as a result of the inner
generativity / destructivity of the "engines" of nature laws imprinted on
space-time?

-- motion: not as merely displacement but as "reconstruction" (along
information flows ? "it" from "bit"?).

-- if laws of nature do process "information" and are themselves "info",
What kind of physicality they do purport? (to Michael Deveraux's
consideration: "information is always physical").

with best greetings,

Pedro
