<p class="MsoNormal">Dear colleagues from FIS,<br>
It is very hard for me to accept that Mark is no longer with us. <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have had a long friendship with him since 1988, which has led to very good scientific results. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the fall of 1988, in Tbilisi, we drank good Georgian wine and ate delicious Georgian barbecue and discussed my idea of building a general information theory. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Subsequently, we worked together and joint articles appeared. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">In the process of work, we realized that we have different views on the theory. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mark focused on the external manifestation of information, consisting, in my opinion, of data and knowledge, and I focused on the subjective manifestation, which is based on subjective reflections and mental models, the external correspondence
of which is data and knowledge. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thus two complementary general theories emerged.<o:p></o:p></p>
