[Fis] 5 momenta - results of counting messages

[Pedro C. Marijuan]

Dear Moises and FIS Colleagues,

Thanks a lot for the curious exploration. On the one side, it is 
"normal" finding such results in a session more or less devoted to the 
info locality topic --what results would be obtained by peering into the 
whole discussion sessions ( starting in 1998! See: 
http://fis.sciforum.net/fis-discussion-sessions/ ).  On the other side, 
I do not know whether it is too early to try to reify the momentum term 
with ad hoc measurements. But, yes, measurement should be used to 
clarify this nebulous idea, as it was just a metaphor stemming in the 
middle of something else. That there are strategic topics withing those 
fields below that should be realigned from the perspective of a nascent 
or renewed information science looks clear. Or stated otherwise, 
important "communicational" and "compositional" items in quite different 
entities might participate in a new info synthesis. The problem, and so 
the need of an "itinerary" is that they influence mutually and a series 
of successive visits or iterative attempts are needed for their coherent 
alignment. This necessary change of directions seems to justify the 
momentum metaphor. For instance, as an example in social science, it is 
curious that the genotype-phenotype-sociotype triad has been proposed 
independently by two authors (Elliot Berry and myself). Although with 
interesting differences, the sociotype construct we propose, covering 
both the relational structure of bonds and the communicative dynamics of 
each individual within the social environment, is pregnant with 
informational contents. Other similar topics in different fields would 
clearly surface as strategic info momenta.

By the way, a highly interesting conference on information has taken 
place recently. See: http://physics.aps.org/articles/v8/103   (courtesy 
of Malcolm Dean.) /"Scientists Meet in the Information Universe: An 
innovative conference in the Netherlands brought together scientists 
from diverse backgrounds to reflect on the ways information shapes 
communication, science, and perhaps even nature itself." /Big figures of 
Physics (Hooft, Fredkin...), cosmology and other scientific branches  
have participated. Quite interesting but, in the light of recent 
messages, allow me please this closing statement: "when the emphasis in 
Instrumenta becomes Impedimenta... "

All the best--Pedro
