communication. I just think his critique of the notion of truth could have been
stated more positively. How do the code and progress of science
‘operate’? Also, falseness is not restricted only to leaders.
Finally, for better understanding, Louis XIV may well be called the Great King
of the codification, but the contrast with Caligula is not warranted since I
did not claim such a role for him. For me, a theory of falsehood, as of
disinformation, begins with intent.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

dialectics of modern art, where distortions are ‘false’, markers of
an artist’s sensibility. Photography in contrast is
‘correct’, but can itself be manipulated as disinformation. Art is
not disinformation, however, since there is no intent to deceive for material
gain. <o:p></o:p></span></font></span></font></p>

of the group. The latter stated that my tone was ‘Fascist’. In
agreeing, with apologies, I note that an ‘anti-Fascist’ manifesto can
still have a Fascist tone, to be avoided. My criticism of cultural relativism

situations involving large bodies of knowledge as well as the new media, which

depending as always, as I see it, on intent. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

color:navy'>I do not see, however, without further discussion which I hope he
will provide, how a theory that describes the relations of mathematical
entities (morphisms) and ways of mapping between them (functors) can apply to
information process phenomena. A structure is not necessarily a static entity. The
term meta- is used in the sense of both ‘about’ and ‘beyond’;
especially in the second use, I do not see a requirement for the principle,
from category theory, of exclusivity and exhaustivity. There is no need for
absolute separation between, say, between physics and metaphysics. I think there
is a lot more to be said about the dynamic structure of information and
disinformation in this sense because I see in it the possibility for new
markers for disinformation. I hope this justifies my having gone to this
length.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
