          <h1>The role of definitions and information in theory
            construction</h1>
          <p>Dear Howard and Pauvre Materialists,<br>
          </p>
          <p>My "mishmash", as you describe it, was invitation to an
            open discussion about the concept of possibility and its
            role in the foundations of physics and more. It leads me to
            suspect you did not understand either the motives or how
            concepts involved relate to one another. Let me briefly
            clarify: <br>
          </p>
        </div>
        <ul>
          <li>It was an invitation to reason about the concept of
            possibility underpinning quantum mechanics with regular
            physics.</li>
          <li>When I discussed with friends in Africa on the foundations
            of physics, linguistics, the role of intention and its
            representation in the brain, it was a back and forth with
            the hope of making progress. So it is my intention with fis.
            To lay bare the open ended questions and reasoning. That is
            an essential process in theory construction. <br>
          </li>
        </ul>
        <ul>
          <li>Creating new theories, requires openness to different ways
            of looking at things, a back-and-forth. It means questioning
            with the willingness to learn. <br>
            <h1>Definitions</h1>
          </li>
          <li>If I define plus as minus then I can prove that 1+1 is
            zero. It looks surprising and catches attention, but it
            misses the point. So it is with your definition of
            information it does not capture some essential properties of
            the concept such as how information can incrementally
            increase.</li>
          <li>One classic definition is: Information is that which adds
            to a representation. It is good, but fails for information
            states that do not have a common core. <br>
          </li>
          <li>A definition needs to capture the properties of what it
            defines</li>
          <li>Your definition lets you to claim all kinds of things that
            don’t necessarily match reality. I have not read your book
            but I suspect that your definition of information may have
            led you astray. <br>
            <h1>AI its use and misuse<br>
            </h1>
          </li>
          <li>By the way using Claude AI to have a deep discussion does
            not mean that I am not aware of its statistical bedrock. On
            the other hand you, perhaps unwittingly, took advantage of
            that and  bullied poor ChatGPT to give traditional answers
            that fit your views.  </li>
          <li>In contrast, I used Claude to have an open discussion not
            forcing it, rather stimulating it to reveal its deep
            knowledge. <br>

        </ul>

                            1. It is only in some particular calculation
                            that one assumes one knows all the
                            possibilities in a quantum mechanical
                            situation, or in any physical situation.
                            This is variable and depends on present
                            theory, knowledge and experiment.

                              Mathematical structures are as open to
                              invention as are natural structures. The
                              whole point of Goedel’s Theorem is that we
                              have to give up the idea that everything
                              is carried out in some fixed formal
                              system. We are allowed to keep inventing,
                              conjuring or jury rigging new formalities,
                              new games, new relationships, to the
                              limits of our ability to invent and
                              discover.</div>
                            <div class="ydpc84ab20fyiv6909495682x_ydp997830ecyiv7715352969">3.

                              mathematical structure are off the table. </div>
                            <div class="ydpc84ab20fyiv6909495682x_ydp997830ecyiv7715352969">4.
                              The question then is - what lies beyond
                              the bounds of any description?</div>
