[Fis] 10 Principles

[Krassimir Markov]

Dear Marcus and FIS Colleagues,

>From my point of view the main choice which has to be made in the very beginning is between two opposite cases:
1. Information is a primary concept
2. Information is a secondary concept
This is fundamental choice which cause all further work.

As I already had pointed, if information is a primary concept than no theories about information can be created. One may create many other theories for EVERYTHING but not for information. Only infinite variety of examples may be created but not fruitful theory and discussions. For instance, the religious approach belong to this class.

The second case gives us possibility to create theories ABOUT information starting from one or more other primary concepts.
I prefer the second case. The primary concepts I have used are Entity and Relationship (http://www.foibg.com/ijita/vol14/ijita14-1-p01.pdf), and Reflection as a result of interaction between entities.

To illustrate the difference between two cases, let see the first 5 principles of Pedro in the two variants: 


      1. Information is a primary concept
     2. Information is a secondary concept
     
      1. Information is information, neither matter nor energy.
     1. Information is a class of reflections in material entities. Not every reflection is information. Only subjectively comprehended reflections are information. Not comprehended reflections are data.
     
      2. Information is comprehended into structures, patterns, messages, or flows.
     2. Reflections may be comprehended as structures, patterns, messages, flows, etc.
     
      3. Information can be recognized, can be measured, and can be  processed (either computationally or non-computationally).
     3. Reflections can be recognized, can be measured, and can be processed (either computationally or non-computationally).
     
      4. Information flows are essential organizers of life's self-production processes--anticipating, shaping, and mixing up with the accompanying energy flows.
     4. Reflection flows are essential organizers of life's self-production processes--anticipating, shaping, and mixing up with the accompanying energy flows.
     
      5. Communication/information exchanges among adaptive life-cycles underlie the complexity of biological organizations at all scales.
     5. Communication is based on special kind of reflections created by one entity and reflected by a second one. This way, the reflections comprehended as information by the first entity may be secondary reflected by the second one. Such information exchanges among adaptive life-cycles underlie the complexity of biological organizations at all scales.
     


I am afraid that many of FIS members prefer the first case. 
I do not know who prefer the second one beside me. If such ones exist, please write to me and we will continue the productive common work. 

Friendly greetings
Krassimir
