Dear Sung and FIS Colleagues,
We have barely discussed the new notion of Planckian information and the
amazing variety of self-organization processes that abide by it. It is a
pity for I think it is a relevant conceptualization that can contribute
to new developments in our field. Thank you, Sung, for presenting it in
this list.
What I do not see is the relationship to be established with languages:
at cosmic, cellular, and human scales. Is it necessary? Is it
convenient? Concretely, in one of the last papers mentioned in the
kickoff text there is a explicit reference to the 12 conditions to be
fulfilled by any language. Could you please explain those conditions? In
the case of living cells, there is no reference at all to signaling
systems--how any cellular "language" can be delineated without
considering the "speech apparatus" of the cell? The profligate of new
terms coined around information, energy, knowledge, etc. does not help
either to keep a clear focus in the essential idea, which as expressed
above revolves around P.I. --although I recognize that most of them may
have some point of interest, taking together they somehow dilute the
main message.
Best wishes--Pedro
