<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Joseph and colleagues,</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Let me first cordially thank to the
contributors who have chimed in the list and expressed their
appreciation. About your reflection, yes, it was a neat
transdisciplinary exercise. It was an initial idea from Andrei
that we two crystallized during the IS4SI venue in Berkeley. In
some sense it is unusual business, given the compartmentalized
structure of most research, but at the same time it may be the
natural way to look at such "information objects" of extreme
complexity as societies are. We need a bunch of the perspectives
capable of saying anything interesting or relevant about them. For
medieval thinker Raymond Lulli this handling of heterogeneous
perspectives was the intellectual "Ars Magna". It represents the
continued recombination processes withing the "ecologies of
knowledge" of our colleague Yixin. And it was one of fundamental
information principles I presented last month.<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-cite-prefix">And to draw some more water to my own
mill, quite many principles of those variegated disciplines might
be put in connection with the principles of information science.
Information science and information philosophy would appear as the
"unofficial handlers" of that intuitive Art.</div>

opportunity to have participated in
this remarkable project! I look forward to reading all the
papers, especially
those of some of the non-FIS contributors with whom I have
lost contact. It
just occurred to me that this <i><span
style="font-style:italic">Special Issue </span></i>is
an exemplary <i><span style="font-style:italic">Transdisciplinary
</span></i>Project,
of the kind that IS4SI is supposed also to help develop.
We could either just say:
<i><span style="font-style:italic">Nous faisons de la
Transdisciplinarité sans
le savoir </span></i>or we could use this concept in
some way. I offer this
thought for your consideration during the 3<sup>rd</sup>
International Congress
on Transdisciplinarity which is in progress essentially
on-line for the next
six months. Comments welcome.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
