Dear Karl,
I'm sorry that the following lines may not be pleasant for you, but it's
time to clarify why counting and comparing permutations is a dead end with
regard to the concept of "information" and its subsequent consequences.
I will use an example given by Euler that I saw quoted in a book but never
found an exact citation.
Here is the example:
Let's imagine that in front of us is a huge clock the size of a building.
On the back there is a door through which we can get inside the clock.
Once inside, we can observe, measure, compare all the parts of the clock,
as well as their combinations and imagine different configurations of them.
We will know all about the watch from the inside.
But we will never know what time it is and what it means to people!
Because the meaning is not in the clock and the variations, permutations
and combinations.
It is in the mind of the subject and will always be there!
And meaning is a mental model with which the incoming data is associated,
and only after it is connected in a mental model, the data is perceived as
information.
With respect,
Krassimir
