<div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" class="">
Dear Nikita,
<div class="">
First of all, lets be clear about definitions in the usual sense of the word. We define a term by relating it to other terms and to experiences.
</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
In a dictionary terms are defined in relation to other terms.
</div>
<div class="">
This often leads to circularity.
</div>
<div class="">
For example, If I look up “difference” in the dictionary I find that it means “not the same”.
</div>
<div class="">
If I look up “same” in the dictionary I find that it means “not different”.
</div>
<div class="">
The dictionary shows relationships of words and relies on our experience for many of the meanings.
</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
In mathematics we do not refer to experience in our definitions, but rather to axioms that delimit the relationships. Thus if P and Q are distinct points in Euclidean Geometry, then there is a line L uniquely
</div>
<div class="">
determined by P and Q so that P and Q are on that line L. This property is an Axiom of the Geometry. We do not specify what P and Q “are” or what a line “is”, but we have in mind certain models that do
</div>
<div class="">
satisfy these axioms. This is an efficient way to proceed for the ways of mathematical thinking. We even have certain kinds of definitions that partake of circularity. For example, I can say consider a group G generated by
</div>
<div class="">
elements a,b so that a = bab^{-1}. The equation I just wrote “defines” a in terms of itself. There is nothing wrong with this and we regard it as a constraint on the way a “behaves”.
</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
In mathematics we allow circularities as constraints and want definitions to be free of circularities. This amounts to a terminology for definitions that distinguishes them from constraints.
</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
I say that you cannot have a mathematical definition of distinction because the best we could ever do about distinction is to indicate a relationship or a constraint such as “we take the form of distinction for the form.”.
</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
Eucid himself did not adhere to the present-day version of definitions in mathematics (after all he wrote in 500BC!). Euclid says that “A point is that which has no part.” and he says that “A straight line lies evenly upon itself.” Each of these statements has great insight, but requires much extra discussion and an understanding of the models for Geometry that are intended.
</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
Just so the von Foerster sentence tells us that whatever an “I”, it is constrained to be a relation between itself and observing itself.
</div>
<div class="">
We appreciate this because we recognize it as a property of the “I” with which we are familiar.
</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
NOW, you say that you will take I as "a computing device that works according to a DNA program”. I see what you mean. I could regard myself as a computing device that works according to a DNA program.
</div>
<div class="">
I could regard myself (as Paul Erdos used to say) as a “device for turning coffee into theorems”. I have to tell you that I like to think of myself as a biocomputer on some days of the week, but not all. And on those other days I would dispute that I am any kind of computer device or formal system. I would debate that I have properties that go beyond the constraints of such formal devices. I would argue this on the basis of Godelian incompleteness,or on the basis of simple abilities to step back and survey situations that are presented to my “device”. If I am a device it is a special device that is equipped to create meta-levels and then join with these
</div>
<div class="">
meta-levels in a continuing process of comprehension.
</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
In any case, I say that when you make statements such as “defining I” as "a computing device that works according to a DNA program” you are actually suggesting certain types of models for I and you then
</div>
<div class="">
implicitly ask us to debate whether the constraints of your models might remove them from being the only answer to the question of making such a definition. In the case of “I” , I suggest that a computational device model is interesting and fruitful but not the whole story.
</div>
<div class="">
<br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
It is important to distinguish definitions from models.

“I am the observed relation between myself and the observing myself” everything suits me, only I need to introduce the definition of “I”. For the Biosphere, this was done by Efim Lieberman in 1972: ""I" is a computing device that works according to the DNA program." In other words, a biological cell or several cells. In the Noosphere, I propose the definition of "I" as a "human phenomenon" i.e. "an animal of the species Homo Sapience, successfully trained in human language, i.e., a computing device capable of interfering with a program in human language." I'm not afraid of circular definitions and I understand that definitions can be complex. But it seems to me that using words in science without agreeing on their meaning is counterproductive.

<div class="">
Dear Nikita,
</div>Distinction is a very fertile starting place as an idea or concept.
<div class="">
We formalize aspects of this idea but not the idea itself.
</div>
<div class="">
This is because any formal definition is a kind of distinction.
</div>
<div class="">
e.g the definition of prime number explicates the distinction between primes and composites.
</div>
<div class="">
Thus to define distinction in a formally would involve using that concept in its very definition.
</div>
<div class="">
Circular definitions such as G. Spencer-Brown’s “We take the form of distinction for the form.” or Heinz von Foerster’s
</div>
<div class="">
“I am the observed relation between myself and observing myself.”
</div>
<div class="">
are very useful for discussion, and for finding new formalisms.
</div>
<div class="">
I say that there cannot be a definition of distinction that is not circular.
</div>
<div class="">
You may have a different point of view on this matter!

Dear Mariuzs, Nikita and all. When I intervene in the discussion, I never claim to possess the truth, but I tend to contribute to forming the process of possible truth by taking into account everyone's contribution. I have repeatedly supported the need to have: - a general conception of knowledge based on the triad: meaning, information, communication;- a particular measurement-evaluation applied in the various natural and human knowledge. as a quantum-semiological economist, economy like physics are sciences based on the value of form or the form of value (even Ettore Maiorana, the late physicist, thought so). So these two sciences are a matter of form, not of (material) substance. If this is the case, information presupposes meaning and is the prerequisite for communication. . What interaction can there be between a stone and a tree, a car and a poem, a star and an ant, etc.? In fact, between two machines there can only be a transmission of signals with a common code, while the communication process between human beings it is a transmission of meaning based on the interaction of signs (such as, for example, the economic market) involving a lexical code of the issuing source different from the lexical code of the recipient recipient. I have already said more than I thought I would write, because I'm busy writing an important book, at least for me. However, let us never forget that knowledge is a process based on love or on acceptance of the other (thought), while not sharing it. A hug-Francesco.
<br class="">
<br class="">
</div> Cari Mariuzs, Nikita e tutti.
<div class="">
quando intervengo nella discussione non pretendo mai di possedere la verità, ma protendo a contribuire
</div>
<div class="">
a formare il processo della verità possibile tenendo conto del contributo di tutti. Più volte ho sostenuto
</div>
<div class="">
la necessità di avere:
</div>
<div class="">
- una concezione generale della conoscenza basata sulla triade: significazione, informazione, comunicazione;
</div>
<div class="">
- una misurazione-valutazione particolare applicate nelle diverse conoscenze naturali e umane.
</div>
<div class="">
In questo senso, non posso non ricordare che, nella qualità di economista quantista-semio-logico, l'economia
</div>
<div class="">
come la fisica sono delle scienze fondate sul valore della forma o la forma del valore (anche Ettore Maiorana, il fisico
</div>
<div class="">
scomparso, la pensava così). Quindi queste due scienze sono una questione di forma, non di sostanza (materiale).
</div>
<div class="">
Se le cose stanno così l'informazione presuppone il significato ed è il presupposto della comunicazione.
</div>
<div class="">
Si può parlare di interazione nella comunicazione e di differenza o contrasto nell'informazione. Che interazione
</div>
<div class="">
vi può essere tra una pietra e un albero, una macchina e una poesia, una stella e una formica, etc.?
</div>
<div class="">
Difatti, tra due macchine vi può essere solo una trasmissione di segnali con un codice comune, mentre
</div>
<div class="">
il processo comunicativo tra esseri umani è una trasmissione di senso basato sull''interazione di segni
</div>
<div class="">
(come, ad esempio, il mercato economico) implicante un codice-lessico della fonte emittente diverso dal codice-lessico
</div>
<div class="">
del destinatario ricevente.
</div>
<div class="">
Già ho detto più di quanto pensavo di scrivere, perchè sono impegnato nella conclusione della scrittura di un libro
</div>
<div class="">
importante, almeno per me. Comunque non dimentichiamo mai che la conoscenza è un processo fondato sull'amore o
</div>
<div class="">
sull'accettazione dell'altro (pensiero), pur non condividendolo.
</div>
<div class="">
Un abbraccio-

Dear colleagues!
</div> It seems to me that the general concept of information can be obtained in the form of an axiom. This can be done by adding two more concepts to the definition: “language system” and “meaning”. In the case of the definition “information is everything that the sender emits that the recipient can interpret”, four additional definitions will have to be introduced for the concepts “sender”, “receiver”, “radiates”, “interprets”.

<br class=""> In this paradigm, it is clear that information does not exist without material carriers - code elements.
<br class="">
<br class=""> For all the cells of the world, we have one language system, which is called "Genetic Language". This is a special case of the well-defined information written on the DNA that created the entire Biosphere.
<br class=""> Another special case is the language system of human language - this information formed the Noosphere.
<br class="">
<br class=""> The general axiomatic definition turns out to be triple and looped: “information is something from which a language system can derive meaning; meaning is what the language system extracts from information, and the language system is what extracts meaning from information.” As in the Christian Trinity, these three concepts are “consubstantial and indivisible.”

Your definition of information practically coincides with Shannon's definition, only elementary (sub-elementary) particles act as inductors and recipients.
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri , Helvetica , sans-serif;" class="">
In the next step, however, this approach leads us to the notion of information quality. A message can contain both a signal (relevant information) and noise. But the notion of relevance of information is subjective. Relevance is compliance with the goals that the inductor-recipient pair sets when exchanging information.
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri , Helvetica , sans-serif;" class="">
Do you think quarks and protons have goals and free will?
</div> This is a very important question, because in most areas, except for the Shannon theory of communication, the quality of information is ignored. The subjectivity of this parameter looks too shocking to include it in a decent academic model (about the same way the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is still perceived)

the first information appears when the first quarks emerge in the first 10-34 of a second of the big bang. quarks read each other's social signals of attraction or repulsion and acted on them to gang up in groups of two or three, thus forming protons and neutrons, which also gave off social signals and agglomerated in proton-neutron teams.

Unfortunately, Shannon's definition can only be used in a very narrow class of cases. When we consider any process other than the transmission of a message from the inductor to the recipient, this definition does not work.
<div style="font-family: Calibri , Helvetica , sans-serif;" class="">
The most authoritative researchers of the philosophy of information admit that there is still no general definition. The concepts of information in different spheres differ significantly and cannot be combined into something commonly used
