"Humans stand apart from other species in the amount and kind of information
they acquire by paying attention to what others do, and crucially to what
they say... 
Information is our environment, our niche, and we constantly transform that
niche to acquire even more and different kinds of information from our
surroundings..." 
Isn't it deeply related to principles of social information science, and
also to the narratives theme of this session?

Dear Pedro and colleagues, 

 

The issue is in my opinion, not the generation of more information
(probabilistic entropy; quantitative), but the specification of the
selection mechanisms; qualitative. These are system-specific, perhaps,
species-specific.

 

I wish you a happy new year and thanks for keeping the list going.

 

Best,

Loet





 
Like in previous years, after the Xmas pause, we will receive the 2019 with
our traditional "New Year Lecture".
As usual it will be announced during the last week or during first days of
the new year. 
It will revolve around a topic we have scarcely discussed: the neuroscience
of consciousness. 
After that Lecture, Xueshan and Plamen will tentatively organize respective
discussion sessions.

And to everybody: enjoy the Xmas time! Feliz Navidad from Zaragoza. 
See below the Nativity Scene in the square of El Pilar Basilica. 
Best--Pedro
