Dear Sung and FIS Colleagues,

We have barely discussed the new notion of Planckian information and the 
amazing variety of self-organization processes that abide by it. It is a 
pity for I think it is a relevant conceptualization that can contribute 
to new developments in our field. Thank you, Sung, for presenting it in 
this list.
What I do not see is the relationship to be established with languages: 
at cosmic, cellular, and human scales. Is it necessary? Is it 
convenient?  Concretely, in one of the last papers mentioned in the 
kickoff text there is a explicit reference to the 12 conditions to be 
fulfilled by any language. Could you please explain those conditions? In 
the case of living cells, there is no reference at all to signaling 
systems--how any cellular "language" can be delineated without 
considering the "speech apparatus" of the cell? The profligate of new 
terms coined around information, energy, knowledge, etc. does not help 
either to keep a clear focus in the essential idea, which as expressed 
above revolves around P.I. --although I recognize that most  of them may 
have some point of interest, taking together they somehow dilute the 
main message.

Best wishes--Pedro
