Same for some comment I made to John Collier.</div><div><br></div><div>I intent to send a mail where I sum up my position on the information debate. I will read some of your text you are linking too, also.</div><div><br></div><div>Meanwhile I will answer only your question about theology: is it a science. I think that science does not really exist, but that the human scientific attitude can exist whatever the domain is, be it gardening, gastronomy, philosophy or theology. That attitude consists in accepting that we never know the truth, but that we can try to make theory precise enough to solve problems and to test consequences. </div><div><br></div><div>I have discovered that ideally correct machine have a rich theology, that they can discover by "looking inward", and that it contains physics, making it testable: just compare machine's theological physics with the empiric science. Until now it fits, and many "weirdness" of nature (like the "many-world") becomes simple theorem, but also admit different interpretation (it is more machine dreams than "world"). I will come back on this.</div><div><br></div><div>The main concept used in my work is the concept of Turing Universal Machine: she is the one feeding on information, and doing the interpretation of it. That might add some light on the present debate on information. I am aware that this sort of theology is closer to the greek neoplatonists theology (where God is mainly Truth, by definition) than to Aristotelian naturalism (with primary materiality), which might explain some resistance that I have often encountered. But science is not wishful thinking, like we do in the religion since it has been separated from science.</div><div><br></div><div>Best,</div><div><br></div><div>Bruno</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On 15 Jun 2015, at 22:59, Krassimir Markov wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"> <div dir="ltr"> <div dir="ltr"> <div style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Calibri'; COLOR: #000000"> <div><font style="size: 4" size="4">Dear Pedro and FIS Colleagues,</font></div> <div><font size="4"></font> </div> <div><font style="size: 4" size="4">This discussion was not planed.
