<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix>Dear List,</DIV>
<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix> </DIV>
<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix>I am responding to Moisés having in mind some good
points mainly from Marcus and Krassimir (not to forget Yixin, Loet, and many
others). There could be a top-down approach to establish, say, some general 10
points (or better, a series of basic principles). And also a complementary view
of establishing particular bottom-up tables for different disciplines, as Moisés
discusses. It is not contradictory. At the time being, however, trying to
establish clear and cut general classifications of information may be premature
and not very practical. It is inevitable that our own particular approaches are
colored by the main expertise each one has. In my own case, I do not mean
"biology" but LIFE. It is very different. The genuine properties of information
appear with life: the capability to persist and react and relate according to
inner drives unseen in inanimate matter. The expansion of biotic realms and the
further generation of more and more complexity brings forth more and more forms
of information (& meaning, & knowledge, languages, etc.). Thus we may
speak of an "informational way of existence" that in different ways manifests in
cells, organisms, societies, companies, institutions, etc. Grasping its
essentials could seemingly be done in both bottom-up and top down. <BR></DIV>
<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix>Then, a little bit from our bacterial
grand-grand-mothers. When they feed (on their basic staples) they ingest them
from the environment via specialized pumps and transporters. But before
fabricating those transporters, they have to detect the existence of the
substance in question. And they do that via specialized receptors (1-2-3
component systems); with them they can also communicate with conspecifics or
interfere with rival species, and many other things. Jorge Navarro and me
compiled a couple of good reviews about those signaling systems. Thus, there is
a genuine energy flow that is entered into the bacterial system, yes, but it is
supported and intertwined with an information flow that continuously tells the
system about its external and internal environs. It is not so different from the
way we vertebrates have our own flows. On the one side, we have a digestive tube
to catch free energy from our food, plus another tube, all along the Central
Nervous System from the brain to the end of the spine (full of the cerebrospinal
fluid) to catch information. It is an ancestral trait, say, derived from
prechordates. One tube processes the energy flow, the other processes the
information flow. Not to forget that in both the bacterial and the vertebrate
the energy&info flows are the necessary support of a life cycle in progress.
To emphasize the latter: the life cycle has a towering presence in all the
informational existential arrangements (not in abstract, it is just our private
lives!)<BR></DIV>
<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix> </DIV>
<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix>That preamble (with far more adornment) could be the
basis of a new way of thinking that properly deployed would lead, or would
condense, in some renewed 10 principles--or more realistic, just 10 points. So,
rather than repeating the tautology (info is info), I suggest that Point 1 and 2
could be something like this:</DIV>
<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix> </DIV>
<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix>1. Information as such: distinction of a
difference.</DIV>
<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix> </DIV>
<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix>2. Information processes: addressed to
signaling&communication, and potentially involving the stages of generation,
encoding, emission, transmission channel, reception, decoding/processing,
meaning, response.</DIV>
<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix> </DIV>
<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix>3. to be continued...<BR></DIV>
<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix> </DIV>
<DIV class=moz-cite-prefix>Greetings to all</DIV>

<DIV>Dear friends.<BR>It is very nice to hear from you and I hope everybody is
well and healthy.<BR>The 10 principles table is amazing. I love good and
intelligent summarizations :-)<BR>But it is important to remember that the
concept of information is context dependent (for example: biological,
physical, social, philosophical, etc.)<BR>So, in my opinion, it should have
"n" tables, one for each context.<BR>These tables may be related, forming a
classification or even an ontology.<BR>For those who believe that the concept
of information can be unified, I guess that the construction of these tables
would be the first step.<BR>We are 102 specialists in the FIS list. Wouldn't
be an interesting collective project to build this multidimensional object
composed of tables with interdisciplinary connections?<BR>What do you
think?<BR>Cheers<BR></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4>From my point of view the main choice which has to be
made in the very beginning is between two opposite cases:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>1. <B>Information is a primary concept</B></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><B>2. </B><B>Information is a secondary
concept</B></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>This is fundamental choice which cause all further
work.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><BR>As I already had pointed, if information is a
primary concept than no theories about information can be created. One may
create many other theories for EVERYTHING but not for information. Only
infinite variety of examples may be created but not fruitful theory and
discussions. For instance, the religious approach belong to this
class.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><BR>The second case gives us possibility to create
theories ABOUT information starting from one or more other primary
concepts.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>I prefer the second case. The primary concepts I have
used are Entity and Relationship (<A

entity and reflected by a second one. This way, the reflections
comprehended as information by the first entity may be secondary
