Information technology is a good tool to point an address concept that once in a while I use to bother all of you :-) If we for instance take the string: 'Hello world' and want to express it through a binary code, (this is not trying to discuss IT but linguistics), we get then the following number:
0100100001100101011011000110110001101111001000000111011101101111011100100110110001100100 If you want it into octal is: 110145154154157040167157162154144 And there you go If you want to play with this, like trying your name or other options there are a bunch of sites which you can visit, like: http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/1PldXx/nickciske.com/tools/binary.php The question is, which is the difference under the information point of view between Hello world 0100100001100101011011000110110001101111001000000111011101101111011100100110110001100100 or 110145154154157040167157162154144 The answer is none All three (and many other) point to the same address, using a different mean All three are just the pointers, and the address is just one. Finally, where is that information (I equal here information = address) Information can only be pointed, and will be always absent. Knowledge and information shares this part IMHO this is a spatial concept were pointers has of course mass, contrary to information which can only live in the empty part of the equation. This is not new of course, it is just the same old battle in epistemology but under a linguistic point of view -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Epistemology" group.
