[Fis] A New Intellectual Avant-Garde

[Francesco Rizzo]

Caro Karl,

grazie per il Tuo autorevole riscontro e per il riconoscimento dell’impatto
centrale sulla biologia della teoria economica. Però, tranne che io abbia
capito male, non ho detto proprio quello che mi fai dire con la tua
proposizione:



Why don’t we invite an information theorist of impeccable credentials, who
will walk us through level by level what information means to the
practitioners of the respective levels?



Il teorico dell’informazione, che potrebbe essere un fisico o matematico
con una visione onto-epistemo-logica aperta alla biologia economica o
all’economia biologica, dovrebbe limitarsi a fornire le nozioni di
carattere generale. Mentre quelle specifiche o relative alle diverse
discipline dovrebbero restare di competenza dei singoli cultori delle
medesime scienze.

Inoltre, per quanto riguarda



The Knowledgeable Alien of Francesco’s social networking web will not be
able to leave aside the concepts of the expected, observed values, of the
differences of which the value of information is deducted



Desidero precisare che, nel campo della teoria economica che propongo da
tempo, il valore dell’informazione dipende proprio dalla differenza dei
valori (presenti) osservati e dei valori (futuri) attesi. Quindi questi
valori, crescenti o decrescenti, esprimono il valore dell’informazione che
non si sottrae, ma si deduce da essi.

Bella è la figura dell’alieno che può darsi o dirsi capace di risolvere o
semplificare il nostro mondo complesso.

Un saluto riconoscente.

Francesco Rizzo

Dear Karl,

Thank you for your authoritative feedback and for the recognition of the
central impact of economic theory on the biology. However, except that I
misunderstood, I did not say exactly what you make me say with your
proposition



Why don’t we invite an information theorist of impeccable credentials, who
will walk us through level by level what information means to the
practitioners of the respective levels?



The information theorist, who could be a physicist or mathematician with an
onto-epistemological-logical view open to economic biology or biological
economics, should limit himself to providing general notions. While those
specific or relating to the various disciplines should remain the
responsibility of individual students of the same sciences.



Also, with regards to



The Knowledgeable Alien of Francesco’s social networking web will not be
able to leave aside the concepts of the expected, observed values, of the
differences of which the value of information is deducted

I would like to point out that, in the field of economic theory that I have
been proposing for some time, the value of information depends precisely on
the difference between the observed (present) values and the expected
(future) values. So these values, increasing or decreasing, express the
value of the information that is not subtracted, but deduced from them.

Bella is the figure of the alien who can be said to be capable of solving
or simplifying our complex world.

A grateful greeting.

Francesco Rizzo

>>>>> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_hair#Styles_of_facial_hair. Let
>>>>> me propose for the current debate to use the term ‘beard’ for the whole set
>>>>> of hairs on the figure. This includes the subsets named ‘moustache’ and
>>>>> ‘jawbone’, where moustache means all and every form of hair originating
>>>>> from above the mouth and jawbone means all forms of sideburns and goatees,
>>>>> that is, all the hair that follows the bone of the chin. Generally, the
>>>>> description of the beard agrees to *a + b = c, *where *c *is the
>>>>> complete facial hair (beard),* a, b *are respectively the hair N of
>>>>> the mouth (moustache) and the hair in regions W, S, E relative to the mouth
>>>>> (sideburns & goatees). Here, however, we shall call that part *a* of
>>>>> the beard{N, /W,S,E/}*, *which is *less *than the other part *b *of
>>>>> the beard *c*. Whether *less *refers to less mm² or to less mg of
>>>>> hair material shall be discussed in the sequel.
>>>>>
>>>>> The beard can grow on any and all places of the plane of the skin. We
>>>>> create a Mercator map of the skin of the face of the Emperor. Where the
>>>>> beard does grow, a potential has been realised. If there is no growth, be
>>>>> it because it had never grown there, or it became shaved away or it fell
>>>>> out (temporarily), we have a state of Zero. If there is a hair on a spot,

>>>>> of growth. Such, we have *17 *degrees of beard, from *Zero *meaning
>>>>> no beard at all, thru *1 to 16 *which symbols distinguish each a type

>>>>>
>>>>> 7. Proposed Solution
>>>>>
>>>>> We take the plane which is a depiction of the face of the Emperor and *turn
>>>>> it over. *In the retro vista we see all the physiological works of a
>>>>> skin, with some follicles sprouting a hair and some not.
>>>>>
>>>>> We distinguish the *paths *of the nourishment flows (and suppose that
>>>>> there are several types of nourishment compositions), from the *material
>>>>> *that sprouts on some spots.
>>>>>
>>>>> We clarify the terms *path, material, composition *by referring to
>>>>> the term *cycle. *The term cycle is a part of the context: reorder in
>>>>> consequence of *periodic changes.*
>>>>>
>>>>> The term *periodic changes *is considered to be axiomatic, or given
>>>>> the deictic definition ‘that what happens as consequence of the Moon’s
>>>>> movements around the Earth, the Earth’s rotation, the Earth’s movement
>>>>> around the Sun’. Transported into dealing with natural numbers, periodic
>>>>> changes are observable there in the form of orders (sequences) and of
>>>>> reorders (procedure which generates cycles).
>>>>>
>>>>> The cycles are – in a geometric interpretation – paths. Paths can
>>>>> cross. In a visual interpretation, cycles can also be seen as strings or
>>>>> filaments, or caravans.
>>>>>
>>>>> In fact, we have created an etalon cohort of logical tokens (made up
>>>>> of *136 *pairs of *(a, b)*), which we use as a catalogue of possible
>>>>> states of whatever that consists of two parts. The idea to take the most
>>>>> basic collection of individuals (aka ‘logical primitives’ © *M.
>>>>> Abundis*) and subject these to repeated periodic changes, is to
>>>>> establish a researchable data set, out of which numeric values for the
>>>>> strength of a relation among elements can be read off.
>>>>>
>>>>> The patterns observed while the logical primitives are reordering
>>>>> allow erecting space concepts, with spots and places where caravans cross.
>>>>>
>>>>> We shall introduce the concept of a follicle to be one specific kind
>>>>> of place where the caravans crossing have specific properties.
>>>>>
>>>>> The only remaining task is to set up the accounting behind the idea.
>>>>> The resulting web of numerical relations binds the elements to each other
>>>>> by means of what we term *bondage. *The bondage reflects the
>>>>> connection of an element to different elements.
>>>>>
>>>>> We propose to use the bondage values as a concurrent system. It may
>>>>> well be, that the bondage value system is that organising principle that
>>>>> knits elements and places together with temporal and other qualitative
>>>>> properties.
