[Fis] Article Computation on Information, Meaning and Representations

[Karl Javorszky]

Dear Colleagues,

Christophe Menant has shared an article “*Computation on Information,
Meaning and Representations. An Evolutionary Approach*” with us. In this
work, following points describe the meaning of the term “meaning”.

*1) A meaning (the environment is becoming hostile versus the satisfaction
of vital constraints) is associated to an information (level of acidity)
received from an entity of the environment (drop of acid).*

*2) The meaning is generated because the system possesses a constraint
linked to its nature (stay alive) that has to be satisfied for the system
to maintain its nature.*

*3) A meaning is generated because the received information has a
connection with the constraint of the system (too high an acidity level
impacts the satisfaction of the vital constraints).*

*4) A meaning is a meaningful information generated by the system
relatively to its constraint and to its environment (the environment
is becoming hostile versus the satisfaction of the vital constraint).*

*5) The meaning is going to participate to the determination of an action
that the system is to implement (move away from acid area) in order to
satisfy its constraint and maintain its nature (stay alive).*

*These five characteristics lead to a systemic definition of a meaning for
a system submitted to a constraint that receives an information from an
entity of its environment:” A meaning is a meaningful information that is
created by a system submitted to a constraint when it receives an incident
information that has a connection with the constraint. The meaning is
formed of the connection existing between the received information and the
constraint of the system. The function of the meaningful information is
to participate to the determination of an action that will be
implemented in order to satisfy the constraint of the system”. This
definition of a meaning tells what the meaning is and what the meaning is
for. *

The concept is wholly supported by what the numbers tell us. (In ancient
times, it was the flight of eagles that supported or not a hypothesis,
today we are more advanced and no less useful, practical and wise.)

The concept of the meaning that there is something that an occurrence
refers to, is in relation with. In Christophe’s example above, the change
in properties oft he surroundings of the assembly (a drop of acid into the
habitat) refers to a physiological – ideal – state which has been changed.

The general concept of ideal state, ideal arrangement, ideal balance,
ideal cooperation, etc. can be seen in planar geometry by the places and
properties of *two central elements. *The central elements become visible
to the naked eye if one reorders some realizations of *a+b=c *into some
other orders. (Eg. Reorder between sorting orders [a+b,b] ↔ [b-2a,a-2b].)

There exists an inbuilt reference system in which all appearances are
somehow different to each other in a gradable fashion. There exist two
relative Zeroes of being in any way different to the absolutely average
member of the assembly.

This letter is supporting the general ideas expressed in the work.
