World is real. So, information has to by physical if it is real, or it cannot

Acceptance of a more advanced model of the World, which includes other

allows understand information as real but not physical.<br>

just tends to mean ’real’, but that raises the problem of how to
define real. Is chance real? I Gödel’s theorem or mathematics and logic
in general (the world of form)? Is subjectivity and self-awareness, qualia? I
do believe you are a conscious subject with feelings, but I cannot feel it, see
it, measure it. Is it physical then?? I only see what you write and your behavior.
And are the meaning of your sentences physical? So here we touch phenomenology
(the experiential) and hermeneutics (meaning and interpretation) and more
generally semiotics (the meaning of signs in cognition and communication). We
have problems encompassing these aspects in the natural, the quantitative and
the technical sciences that makes up the foundation of most conceptions of
information science.</span></font><font color="black"><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><font size="3" color="black" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:black"> Dear FISers,<br>
It was an interesting discussion, in which many highly intelligent
and creative individuals participated expressing different points of view. Many
interesting ideas were suggested. As a conclusion to this discussion, I would
like to suggest a logical analysis of the problem based on our intrinsic and
often tacit assumptions.<br>
<br>
To great extent, our possibility to answer the question “Is
information physical? “ depends on our model of the world. Note that here
physical means the nature of information and not its substance, or more
exactly, the substance of its carrier, which can be physical, chemical
biological or quantum. By the way, expression “quantum information”
is only the way of expressing that the carrier of information belongs to the
quantum level of nature. This is similar to the expressions “mixed
numbers” or “decimal numbers”, which are only forms or number
representations and not numbers themselves.<br>
<br>
If we assume that there is only the physical world, we have, at first,
to answer the question “Does information exist? “ All FISers assume
that information exists. Otherwise, they would not participate in our
discussions. However, some people think differently (cf., for example, Furner,
J. (2004) Information studies without information).<br>
<br>
Now assuming that information exists, we have only one option,
namely, to admit that information is physical because only physical things
exist.<br>
If we assume that there are two worlds - information is physical,
we have three options assuming that information exists:<br>
- information is physical<br>
- information is mental<br>
- information is both physical and mental <br>
<br>
Finally, coming to the Existential Triad of the World, which comprises three
worlds - the physical world, the mental world and the world of structures, we
have seven options assuming that information exists:<br>
- information is physical<br>
- information is mental<br>
- information is structural <br>
- information is both physical and mental <br>
- information is both physical and structural <br>
- information is both structural and mental <br>
- information is physical, structural and mental <br>
<br>
The solution suggested by the general theory of information tries to avoid
unnecessary multiplication of essences suggesting that information (in a
general sense) exists in all three worlds but … in the physical world, it
is called <b><span style="font-weight:bold">energy</span></b>, in the mental
world, it is called <b><span style="font-weight:bold">mental energy</span></b>,
and in the world of structures, it is called <b><span style="font-weight:bold">information</span></b>
(in the strict sense). This conclusion well correlates with the suggestion of
Mark Johnson that information is both physical and not physical only the
general theory of information makes this idea more exact and testable.<br>
In addition, being in the world of structures, information in the
strict sense is represented in two other worlds by its representations and
carriers. Note that any representation of information is its carrier but not
each carrier of information is its representation. For instance, an envelope
with a letter is a carrier of information in this letter but it is not its
representation.<br>
Besides, it is possible to call all three faces of information by
the name energy - physical energy, mental energy and structural energy.<br>
<br>
Finally, as many interesting ideas were suggested in this
discussion, may be Krassimir will continue his excellent initiative combining
the most interesting contributions into a paper with the title<br>
<wbr> <wbr>
<b><span style="font-weight:bold">Is information physical?</span></b><br>
and publish it in his esteemed Journal.<br>

that as far as rational capabilities go, the same principles apply. There is a
rest, you say, which is not of this kind. The counter argument says that
irrational processes do not take place in organisms, therefore what you refer
to belongs to the main process, maybe like waste belongs to the organism's
principle. This view draws a picture of a functional biotope, in which the
waste of one kind of organism is raw material for a different kind. </span></font><font color="black"><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></font></p>

You state: <br>
"IF indexical digital mechanism is correct in the cognitive science,<br>
THEN “physical” has to be defined entirely in arithmetical term,
i.e. “physical” becomes a mathematical notion.<br>
...Indexical digital mechanism is the hypothesis that there is a level of
description of the brain/body such that I would survive, or “not feel any
change” if my brain/body is replaced by a digital machine emulating the
brain/body at that level of description".</span></font><font color="black"><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
<p><font size="3" color="black" face="Calibri"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Calibri;color:black">The problem of your account is the following:<br>
You say "IF" and "indexical digital mechanism is the
HYPOTHESIS".<br>
Therefore, you are talking of an HYPOTHESIS: it is not empirically tested and
it is not empirically testable. You are starting with a sort of
postulate: I, and other people, do not agree with it. The current
neuroscience does not state that our brain/body is (or can be replaced by) a
digital machine.<br>
In other words, your "IF" stands for something that possibly does not
exist in our real world. Here your entire building falls down. </span></font><font color="black"><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></font></p>

duplication, …) on infinitely many computations. This entails also that
neither matter appearance nor consciousness are Turing emulable per se, as the
whole arithmetical reality—which is a highly non computable notion as we
know since Gödel—plays a key role. Note this makes Digital Physics
leaning to inconsistency, as it implies indexical computationalism which

“dream argument” illustrates that seeing, measuring, … cannot
prove anything ontological. A subjective experience proves only the
phenomenological existence of consciousness, and nothing more. It shows that
although there are plenty of strong evidences for a material reality, there are
no evidences (yet) for a primitive or primary matter (and that is why, I think,
Aristotle assumes it quasi explicitly, against Plato, and plausibly against
Pythagorus).</span></font><font color="black"><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></font></p>

is the world of programs, or information, or even just numbers, since very
elementary arithmetic (PA without induction, + the predecessor axiom) is
already Turing complete (it contains what I have named a Universal Dovetailer:
a program which generates *and* executes all programs).</span></font><font color="black"><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></font></p>

we assume Mechanism (Indexical computationalism) matter itself is also not
*primarily* physical: it is all in the “head of the universal

if there is a discrepancy between the physics that we infer from the
observation, and the physics that we extract from “the head” of the
machine. This took me more than 30 years of work, but the results obtained up
to now is that there is no discrepancies. I have compared the quantum logic
imposed by incompleteness (formally) on the semi-computable (partial recursive,
sigma_1) propositions, with most quantum logics given by physicists, and it
fits rather well.</span></font><font color="black"><span style="color:black"><u></u><u></u></span></font></p>
