Dear Moises and FIS Colleagues, <br>
<br>
Thanks a lot for the curious exploration. On the one side, it is
"normal" finding such results in a session more or less devoted to the
info locality topic --what results would be obtained by peering into
the whole discussion sessions ( starting in 1998! See:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://fis.sciforum.net/fis-discussion-sessions/">http://fis.sciforum.net/fis-discussion-sessions/</a> ). On the other side,
I do not know whether it is too early to try to reify the momentum term
with ad hoc measurements. But, yes, measurement should be used to
clarify this nebulous idea, as it was just a metaphor stemming in the
middle of something else. That there are strategic topics withing those
fields below that should be realigned from the perspective of a nascent
or renewed information science looks clear. Or stated otherwise,
important "communicational" and "compositional" items in quite
different entities might participate in a new info synthesis. The
problem, and so the need of an "itinerary" is that they influence
mutually and a series of successive visits or iterative attempts are
needed for their coherent alignment. This necessary change of
directions seems to justify the momentum metaphor. For instance, as an
example in social science, it is curious that the
genotype-phenotype-sociotype triad has been proposed independently by
two authors (Elliot Berry and myself). Although with interesting
differences, the sociotype construct we propose, covering both the
relational structure of bonds and the communicative dynamics of each
individual within the social environment, is pregnant with
informational contents. Other similar topics in different fields would
clearly surface as strategic info momenta.<br>
<br>
By the way, a highly interesting conference on information has taken
place recently. See: <a href="http://physics.aps.org/articles/v8/103">http://physics.aps.org/articles/v8/103</a>
(courtesy of Malcolm Dean.) <i>"Scientists Meet in the Information
Universe: An innovative conference in the Netherlands brought together
scientists from diverse backgrounds to reflect on the ways information
shapes communication, science, and perhaps even nature itself." </i>Big
figures of Physics (Hooft, Fredkin...), cosmology and other scientific
branches have participated. Quite interesting but, in the light of
recent messages, allow me please this closing statement: "when the
emphasis in Instrumenta becomes Impedimenta... "<br>
<br>
All the best--Pedro<br>
