[Fis] Emotional Sentience - Closing Questions & Comments

[Pedro C. Marijuán]

Dear Kate,

It was a pity that I could barely participate in the discussion of your 
views.
At least I would like to send you some brief response to your final query.

Defining info? My traditional view was linking information to forms of 
sentience (living beings), where information may be taken as 
"distinction on the adjacent".
This was collated into "ten principles of information science" and 
updated some years ago.
See:

Evaluative information? Give me a biological life cycle, or give me a 
human life course, a biography... whatever.
Then we would be able to evaluate the potential impact of that info 
item, to make better sense of it regarding that subject and ourselves.
It is curious how much social use is made on CVs, short bios, etc. so to 
better evaluate what the others say or do.
It is pure pragmatics that reveals the intense link between information 
and advancing life cycles.

It was nice following your texts.
Best--Pedro
