<font size="3">Dear Karl, Dear Pedro and All,</font><div><font size="3"><br></font></div><div><font size="3">I am glad to see that this debate is proceeding in a such a novel open fashion, with considerations from logic, of course - the new axioms - but also philosophy and science. This openness is that which emerges from the article by Ed Frenkel posted by Plamen, worth many comments on its own.</font></div><div><font size="3"><br></font></div><div><font size="3">In this spirit, first, I offer a variant of Karl's statement below:</font></div><div><font size="3"><br></font></div><div><font size="3">1. Information is the extent of <i>becoming</i> otherwise between two entities. </font></div><div><font size="3">This formulation facilitates viewing information, philosophically as well as scientifically, as a process.</font></div><div><font size="3"><br></font></div><div><font size="3">My second comment may be more controversial:</font></div><div><font size="3"><br></font></div><div><font size="3">2. Information may require non-axiomatic logics for its proper description. </font></div><div><font size="3">To the extent that information is a process and instantiates the properties of processes, it may be desirable to apply a logic of processes, that is, of change, to information. In 1988, it was "revolutionary" for Paul Thagard to propose a "Computational Philosophy of Science". It may be revolutionary today to propose a "Non-Computational Philosophy of Science", but that is what I am proposing for Information.</font></div><div><font size="3"><br></font></div><div><font size="3">The common denominator is, of course, (1) the human being and his/her capacity for reflection (Krassimir) but, I suggest even more generally, (2) change. If so, framework is that of lemmas or lemmic logic which incorporate simple opposition (A -not A) but complement it with complex negation: neither A nor not-A, and both A and not-A.</font></div><div><font size="3"><br></font></div><div><font size="3">This means that characterizations of say, a theory as dualistic or not dualistic should be replaced by dualistic and not dualistic, neither or both. The domain of application of this logic is not that of statements but of complex, evolving, <i>incomplete (Deacon )</i>, nature. </font></div><div><font size="3"><br></font></div><div><font size="3">This may be considered as an unnecessarily complicated way of saying someone is partly right and partly wrong. This formulation is for me too static, missing the dynamics of changing reasoning and judgment - becoming.</font><span style="font-size: medium;">These dynamics, as in all real processes, cognitive and other involve movement from actual to potential and </span><i style="font-size: medium;">vice versa. </i><span style="font-size: medium;">I have stated this previously, perhaps </span><i style="font-size: medium;">ad nauseam </i><span style="font-size: medium;">to some, but I offer it as a new axiom. The result is that my approach is both axiomatic and non-axiomatic.</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Lurking in the background is the concept "of the best of both" worlds, solutions to a problem, whatever. It includes the intuition of impermanence and change, the best information today may not be the best tomorrow, or it may be better. As you might expect, what I have tried to say here is not "perfectly correct". In a way, I am glad this is so; it looks more like "Life Itself (Rosen)".</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Thank you and best wishes,</span></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;">Joseph</span></div><div><blockquote style="margin-right: 0px; margin-left:15px;">----Message d'origine----<br>De : karl.javorszky@gmail.com<br>Date : 10/02/2024 - 18:30 (E)<br>À : fis@listas.unizar.es<br>Objet : Re: [Fis] The new axioms<br><br><div dir="auto">

This means that the secondary (transitive) reflection exists. One special case is the external transitive self-reflection where the entity reflects itself as a secondary reflection during any external interaction. Some entities have an opportunity of internal self-reflection. The internal self-reflection is possible only for very high levels of organization of the entities, i.e., for entities with very large and complicated structures. </span><span style="font-family: Calibri , sans-serif;"><u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings,<br><br> Missing in this study of Limits of Formal Systems<span class="m_-2905938118986149171gmaildefault"> (ways of managing diverse abstractions)</span>, <span class="m_-2905938118986149171gmaildefault">and </span>even back to Yixin’s Paradigm Shifts and to Stu’s notes, is the matter of simple-to-complex material reality. Gordana partly frames<span class="m_-2905938118986149171gmaildefault"> the</span> issue as Multi-Level Analysis (too much like Multidisciplinary approaches?) and Dynamical approaches (differed from Agent views?)—where it is easy to agree a need for New Mathematical approaches and more.<br><br> And now we have Krassimir’s (most of which I agree):<br> < Have you asked yourself the "simple question“: "Why are there so many theories in mathematics with corresponding systems of axioms?“ ><br> —Here, the reason is NOT mathematic or axiomatic, but Simple-to-Complex Material Reality, where HUMAN-logical gaps persist. It is our own `impoverished logic’ (a psycho-logical problem) that leaves us with mathematical issues, having failed to FIRST correctly view the<span class="m_-2905938118986149171gmaildefault"> full</span> problem(s). If we take modeling as a discipline, one must first find a proper intuitive fit BEFORE proceeding to mathematic models—the lesson of Einstein's famous thought experiments. <br><br> PRIMALLY AXIOMATIC Simple-to-Complex Material Reality has many INNATE Material Paradigm Shifts, we imperfectly map via Logical Paradigm Shifts (re Yixin). Not until we have perfect knowledge of the cosmos and LEVEL TRANSITIONS, will `all such issues’ dissipate (re Kant’s das Ding an sich. <br><br> To debate which CURRENT mathematic v<span class="m_-2905938118986149171gmaildefault">iew</span> might be a `better tool’ (re Category Theory, etc.) is too much like `dueling pathologies’,<span class="m_-2905938118986149171gmaildefault"><span style="font-size: 18.0pt;"> </span></span>b<span class="m_-2905938118986149171gmaildefault">lind to</span> our own p<span class="m_-2905938118986149171gmaildefault">ersonal</span> flaws. This all brings the Limits of Formal Systems back to a central matter of a need for New Mathematical approaches. But to imagine new approaches we must FIRST confront our own logical gaps (psych-logical poverty). This dates back even further, long before Shannon, to Korzybski’s `confused levels of abstraction’.<br><br> So when Krassimir states<br> < thousands of articles pointing out how one formal system or another CANNOT be applied to modeling . . . But writing such articles is pointless.><br> — It is hard to disagree, except I would start b<span class="m_-2905938118986149171gmaildefault">y</span> looking BENEATH living matter, as living matter itself cannot exist in a vacuum, always in a context <span class="m_-2905938118986149171gmaildefault">of</span><span class="m_-2905938118986149171gmaildefault"><span style="font-size: 18.0pt;"> </span></span>eternal adaptations. To ignore STIPULATED adaption (adaption to what exactly? = context) as a central aspect of Simple-to-Complex Material Reality<span class="m_-2905938118986149171gmaildefault"> AND Life</span> is equally pointless. A firm grasp of e<span class="m_-2905938118986149171gmaildefault">nsuing</span> Functional Material Levels is thus an ESSENTIAL first step in confronting Limits of Formal Systems.<br><br> But then, still — Krassimir — when various `axiomatic offerings’ are already known to you and us<span class="m_-2905938118986149171gmaildefault"><span style="font-size: 18.0pt;">,</span></span> why are we NOT critically examining those offerings . . . as part of discussing and truly exploring <span class="m_-2905938118986149171gmaildefault">the current topic </span>Limits of Formal Systems. For example,<br><br> — Kun Wu’s view (1991—earliest I can find) of subject object modeling seems to head in an interesting direction but also seems excessively complex, and essentially pantheistic.<br><br> — Terry Deacon’s teleo-dynamics (2011) seems deeply flawed with a purely thermodynamic base that he initially transcribes to homeodymanics, while entirely ignoring a much broader established homeostasis roles. Theromdynamics works ONLY as a bare/incomplete trope.<br><br> — Mark Burgin’s GTI is entirely without semantic/subjective roles (per his own admission).<br><br> — Stu Kauffman and his engine block coconut crusher/paper weight `thinking’ . . . well he never answered my posts, so I am unsure what to make of it. But *I* would be embarrassed by such an offering, with NO functional depth.<span class="m_-2905938118986149171gmaildefault"><span style="font-size: 18.0pt;"></span></span><span class="m_-2905938118986149171gmaildefault">He also seems to repeat/encourage Terry's thermodynamic error.</span><br><br> — Pedro every so often offers 10 (or so) informatic principles, but I have never seen a fully developed model. Still, I have seen enough to know he often insists it `ALL evolves around Life, and only Life’ (as *many* do in FIS) and seems to forget Life must continually adapt to `something’.<br><br> — Joe Brenner’s LIR I have also looked at and it seems hopelessly dualistic and thus cannot account even for Nature’s creativity, let alone human creativity.<br><br> — Krassimir’s GIT, certainly makes very promising `sounds’, but I have never seen a fully developed model, despite many requests.<br><br> — and then there is of course my own S-O modeling/Natural Informatics offering, which I will not repeat . . . and there are likely many others I have forgotten about or just never heard of.<br><br> I hope this somehow helps `get the ball rolling’ in e<span class="m_-2905938118986149171gmaildefault">xploring</span> f<span class="m_-2905938118986149171gmaildefault">urther</span> *firm critical thinking* around Limits of Formal Systems<span class="m_-2905938118986149171gmaildefault"> . . . assuming that is the aim of this session(?)</span><br><br> Marcus<u></u><u></u></p>
