<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear FIS Colleagues,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>As I have noted on other occasions, Brian Josephson
deserves our respect for his fundamental discoveries in solid-state physics (the
Josephson junction). Unfortunately, a subsequent foray into physics - his
alleged demonstration of cold nuclear fusion - was a fraud.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Despite the prestigious venue of this current
effort, in my opinion, it faithfully reproduces every weakness and instance of
circular reasoning and binary thinking that is hampering progress in
understanding reality, its relations and the origin of meaning. I get incensed
at the repetition that it is algorithms that must be used to better understand
biological systems. I, as well as many others, have never believed that nature
was meaningless but that the process of meaning had to be defined carefully to
avoid hand-waving nonsense.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Without the necessary grounding in physics, which
Josephson's references do not seem to provide (please correct me here), the term
used by Josephson of 'entangled intra-relating' is empty. To say that reality
and image are different but connected, a pipe and an image of a pipe, is not
incorrect but trivial. The connections are, exactly,
<EM>non-</EM>interactive, without energy exchange.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If someone can point to a single new and valid
statement that Josephson has made that adds to our understanding of nature and
biological organization, perhaps he/she could point it out.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you and best wishes,</FONT></DIV>
