<br>
We have barely discussed the new notion of Planckian information and
the amazing variety of self-organization processes that abide by it.
It is a pity for I think it is a relevant conceptualization that can
contribute to new developments in our field. Thank you, Sung, for
presenting it in this list. <br>
What I do not see is the relationship to be established with
languages: at cosmic, cellular, and human scales. Is it necessary?
Is it convenient? Concretely, in one of the last papers mentioned
in the kickoff text there is a explicit reference to the 12
conditions to be fulfilled by any language. Could you please explain
those conditions? In the case of living cells, there is no reference
at all to signaling systems--how any cellular "language" can be
delineated without considering the "speech apparatus" of the cell?
The profligate of new terms coined around information, energy,
knowledge, etc. does not help either to keep a clear focus in the
essential idea, which as expressed above revolves around P.I.
--although I recognize that most of them may have some point of
interest, taking together they somehow dilute the main message.<br>
<br>
Best wishes--Pedro<br>
