[Fis] Welcome to Knowledge Market and the FIS Sci-coins

Mon Mar 12 07:16:48 CET 2018

Dear Krassimir and colleagues,

Our mental model can entertain discursive models reflexively. Thus, our 
models are (at least partly) discursively mediated and hence the result 
of communication. The development of discursive knowledge is thus 
liberated from biologically given constraints; it has a dynamic of its 
own. This is the source of progress in a knowledge-based economy. The 
models are evolving, whereas we are essentially the same.

When Julius Caesar said "veni, vidi, vici" he entertained a mental 
model, but he could not understand gravity. The history of mankind is 
driven from the next-order level and not by its genesis.

Best,
Loet

>To avoid misunderstandings with concepts Subject, agent, animal, human, 
>society, humanity, living creatures, etc., in [1] we use the abstract 
>concept “INFOS” to denote every of them as well as all of artificial 
>creatures which has features similar to the former ones.

>
>Infos has possibility to reflect the reality via receptors and to 
>operate with received reflections in its memory. The opposite is 
>possible - via effectors Infos has possibility to realize in reality 
>some of its (self-) reflections from its consciousness.

>The commutative diagram on Figure 1 represents modeling relations. In 
>the frame of diagram:
>
>- in reality: real models: s is a model of r,
>
>- in consciousness: mental models: si is a mental model of ri;
>
>- between reality and consciousness: perceiving data and creating 
>mental models:  triple (si, ei, ri) is a mental model of triple (s, e, 
>r).

>It is easy to imagine the case when the Infos realizes its reflections 
>using its effectors, i.e. relation between consciousness and reality: 
>realizing mental models and creating data. In this case the receptors’ 
>arrows should be replaces by opposite effectors’ arrows. In this case 
>triple (s, e, r) is a realization of the mental model (si, ei, ri).

>After creating the mental model it may be reflected by other levels of

>the levels are much more, for animals with no neo-cortex the levels a

>In [2], Jeff Hawkins had remarked: “The transformation— from fast

>What about the currency?

>In [3] we had introduced the new concept “Knowledge marked”. It is 
>remembered in [4] where the approach for measuring the scientific 
>contributions was proposed. It was proposed to use the “paper” as basic 
>measurement unit. Now I may say, the paper is our “Sci-coin”. This 
>Sci-coin is convertible to real currencies - it is wide accepted the 
>price of a paper to be downloaded as pdf-file is about 30-35 EURO or 
>USD.

>
>Finally, the paper “Data versus Information” [5] is an example of a FIS 
>Sci-coin mined from the letters’ sequences.
>
>As we had seen, it is not so easy to “mine the Sci-coin”!
