[Fis] Why is FIS important?

JC: Joseph asked about CS Peirce's notion of information, presumably in
relation to his personal constructive inferences about the nature of quantum
theory with respect to the animate and the inanimate.

JEB: This is not a question I asked. I wanted an explanation of two terms
allegedly used by Peirce about information quoted in your note.

JC: Re Topol, Do these highly speculative but rationally justified
assertions (in the Peircian sense of from its to titbits to bits?) relate to
FIS? If so, what are the rational connections between our rational
discussions and E J Topol's rational expectations and his well-articulated
conjectures?

JEB: The overemphasis on data driven medicine makes me sick.

JEB: I do not consider it a 'rational' discussion of knowledge to begin by
reducing it out of existence.

Best,

Joseph

Subject: [Fis] Why is FIS important?

List: 

Recently, Pedro asked about the difference between the inanimate and the
animate.

Given the orientation of many information scientists toward the infinite
credibility of mathematics, I was rather surprised, one might even say
stunned, by this concern.

Later, Joseph asked about CS Peirce's notion of information, presumably in
relation to his personal constructive inferences about the the nature
quantum theory with respect to the animate and the inanimate. 

The timely convergence of these two inquires prompt a bit of introspection
about the meaning or the implications of FIS in a broader context,
unconstrained by the Shannon "its and bits"

A colleague pointed me toward the works of Eric J. Topol.  In addition to
his books on application of theories of information in non-mathematical
disciplines, his lucid writings are demonstrated at the following web
address:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5714316/pdf/nihms900018.pdf

Do these highly speculative but rationally justified assertions (in the
Peircian sense of from its to titbits to bits?) relate to FIS?
If so, what are the rational connections between our rational discussions
and E J Topol's rational expectations and his well-articulated conjectures?

(This post is intentionally provocative.  Can I safely assume that few if
anyone (except Pedro!) will have the courage to respond?)

Cheers
