<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Dear FIS Colleagues,<br>
<br>
During past days a conference on Intelligence Science was hold in Chengdu. It was organized by Zhao Chuan (fis member, who presented in this list about the same topic last year), and was chaired by Yixin Zhong (well known in this list too). Western FIS parties
who attended were Gordana, Joseph Brenner (although finally read in absentia), and myself. Chinese FIS colleagues Wu Kun, Xiaohui, Bi Lin, and others were also attending or presenting. Well, it was quite interesting an experience. Rethinking the basic ideas
on intelligence, both "natural" and "artificial", in parallel to FIS and IS4SI efforts around information science looks a promising complementary strategy. A second conference will take place next year, in another Chinese city. It will be more widely publicized
so to facilitate the attendance of Western parties.<br>
<br>
Best greetings from Xi'an Information Philosophy Institute, in Jiaotong University, one of the earliest and most fruitful Chinese initiatives in information studies...<br>
<br>

PS. About meaning, what Malcolm says should be obvious: in central nervous systems meaning predates human language.
