>>Abstract
>>Whereas the generation of Shannon-type information is coupled to the 
>>second law of thermodynamics, redundancy—that is, the complement of 
>>information to the maximum entropy—can be increased by making further 
>>distinctions. The dynamics of discursive knowledge production can thus 
>>infuse the historical dynamics with a cultural evolution. Providing 
>>the information with meaning first proliferates the number of options. 
>>Meanings are provided with hindsight at positions in the vector space, 
>>as against relations in the network space. The main axes 
>>(eigenvectors) of the vector space map the codes of the communication 
>>spanning horizons of meaning; the codes structure the communications 
>>as selection mechanisms. Unlike hard-wired DNA, the codes of 
>>non-biological systems co-evolve with the variation. Discursive 
>>knowledge can be considered as meta-coded communication which enables 
>>us to entertain models of the processing of meaning and information. 
>>This reinforces the hindsight perspective and can turn codification 
>>reflexively into coding anticipation. The dynamics of information, 
>>meaning, and knowledge can be evaluated empirically using the sign of 
>>mutual information as an indicator.
