[Fis] (no subject)

[Krassimir Markov]

Dear Xueshan,

Thanks for the detailed answer.

I will add that just as mathematics develops as (theoretical) mathematics
and applied mathematics in different areas of practice, so too does
information science develop as (theoretical) information science and
applied information science in different areas of reality. Computer Science
and Informatics develop as extensions of information science, directly
related to the practice and implementation of machines for operating with
data and knowledge.

Therefore, I think it is justified to talk about:

- information science and studies;

- applied information science and studies.

I have a proposal for the subject and foundations of this science, but now
is not the time to start such a discussion. Perhaps I will first publish
concise texts that will be available for discussion.



Dear Christophe,

Of course, as it is  pointed out in 2017 in our joint paper from the FIS
discussion, information is data with meaning, i.e.

information = data + meaning

Let's do a little transformation and transfer the "meaning" to the other
side. We get:

information - meaning = data

Since data are reflections in the receptors of the subject, we can say that:

information - meaning = reflection, in a particular case = data.

This consideration allows us to say that all developments and definitions
based on "information without meaning" refer to reflections, in particular
- data, and do not concern the information with which subjects operate. In
fact, they all rediscover or further develop parts of the Theory of
Reflections.



Dear Gordana,

I think I gave in my response to Xueshan above the answer to your question
"What do we want the study of information to be?"

My answer to your other question, “Can we live with a plurality of notions
of information?", is:

- Yes, we can live with multiple definitions of information, but in fact
there are not that many. In addition, some definitions define something
else, but not the concept of "information", as we saw above. I will note,
however, that it is difficult to find the methodological and factual
shortcomings of the proposed new definitions, and this helps them to swarm.

For example, regarding the publication of Stu Kaufman and Andrea Rolli, I
will remember that I see in it a serious methodological flaw.

I also argue " that no mathematics based on set theory can be used to
deduce the diachronic emergence of adaptations in evolution". But this does
not mean " that there can be no Final Theory that entails the becoming of
the universe". Simply because modern mathematics has given us other tools,
on the one hand, and on the other, there are a number of simulation
approaches and systems that allow modeling these processes.

In addition, we must remember that models are not reality itself, but its
partial reflection, and therefore we cannot recreate reality through
models, but we can externalize some of our ideas about it, creating
corresponded models and thus make them available to other scientists who
can continue further.

But if we have no ideas, what do we expect our models to contain? This is
exactly the case with the "becoming of the universe".

If no one has any idea, why is a model expected to reveal this on its own?



Dear colleagues,

We are on the threshold of the New Year 2025.

Moreover, today, 21.12.2024, is the transition day to the New Bulgarian
Year 7530, which starts tomorrow (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://bgkalendar.com/?lang=en__;!!D9dNQwwGXtA!Q558tG6NM4auOvNpkSnhaG3WcaPF6oRTBzEUTby2ES5aHlHvv1AO6zKAOKCxCClqC5zRL243b5927vzUsnE$ ).

As the holiday season approaches, I want to express my warmest wishes for a
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May these holidays bring you peace,
happiness and the opportunity to reflect on the successes and challenges of
the past year. May the New Year 2025 be filled with groundbreaking
discoveries, inspiring collaborations, and continued growth in all your
scientific endeavors.

Merry Holidays and a Happy New Year!



Warmest regards,

Krassimir
