[Fis] 0% of most important Informatics

[Louis Kauffman]

Dear Jason,
I writing to remark on your use of percentages.
When I speak of 20% of S where S is some countable and finite collection C of things, then I can consider all the ways to choose 20 out of 100 parts of C.
But a conceptual domain such as Information is not a collection of things.  20% of it is meaningless.
You can ask: What is your best concise summary of your understanding of Informatics?
I suggest that you change your language here and make a request of that sort.
Best,
Lou

While there is a scientific consensus that information is always accompanied by matter and energy, it is also true that matter and energy must always exist in some form, thereby carrying information. Formlessness is informative only outside of serious science, as a religious concept among spiritual practitioners. I challenge you to design a scientific experiment, where matter and energy demonstrably occur without form, information. Yours is a good example of the fallacy of the conflation of the epistemic and ontic domains of reality - an apparently universal mental condition infecting academics.
