Dear Sungchul,

Your point is well taken, but it only applies to digital information.
The information states that I have discovered for Experience Information
do not work on digital information, which requires a physical system at 
stability,
obeying the usual laws of quantum theory.

Experience information is sited at critical instabilities, which are 
identified as
the Loci of Control of all biological systems by complexity biology.
Instabilities do not have quanta as their excitations. There is no 
minimum energy h/2.
The information is encoded as Gestalts / Forms / Ideas (all equivalent).
No excitation energy is involved in their transmission or reception.

Do read my 2015 paper in the Journal of Progress in Biophysics and 
Molecular Biology.
Best wishes,

Alex Hankey

    Hi Pedro,


    I am not well familiar with Sheldrake's phenomenon of the Seventh
    Sense.  Reading one of his articles on line, "The sixth Sense and
    the Seventh Sense: A Part of Our Biological Nature ?", indicated to
    me that the phenomenon of the seventh sense he described may well be
    real and biological.  But what he does not yet know, as he admits,
    is how this phenomenon  may be occurring, i.e., what is the
    mechanism behind it. Answering this question may  not be easy, since
    it would entail knowing how our brain perceives the reality through
    our senses, the sixth and the seventh included.


    As long as the seventh sense is biological, as Sheldrake seems to
    assume, I would predict that the information being exchanged between
    the observer and his/her environment through this sense would obey
    what I called the Third Law of Informatics i.e., no information can
    be exchanged without dissipation of kt ln(2) joules of energy  per
    bit. (In my previous post, I forgot to iinclude "ln(2)").


    Or another possibility is that Sheldrakes' phenomenon of the seventh
    sense is unknowable.  That is , it may long to the category of
    phenomena that the human intellect is  incapable of knowing, just as
    apophatic theologians believe that God cannot be described in human
    language.  In part influenced by the apophatic theology and in part
    by semiotics of Peirce (which I found a way to extend to include the
    ineffable, based on the so-called quark model of signs ; see [2] in
    the attached  references), I came to the conclusion that science (or
    the systematic study of the reality) may be divided into two
    branches -- the traditional "cataphatic" (or positivistic) branch
    and the "apophatic" (or negative or ineffable) branch as
    schematically depicted in the attached figure.  The division of
    science into these two branches may be considered as the extension
    of Bob Ulanowicz's  division of  Shannon entropy H into the
    cataphatic component, A, and the apophatic component, fi [see Eq.
    (2)  in  "Towards Quantifying a Wider Reality: Shannon Exonerata",
    /Information/ 2011, *2*, 624-634].


    With all the best.


    Sung

        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
