Dear Karl, It was an interesting thought about nuomenon as Musil's man without properties. Also about natural information that is not Shannon information as Shannon information is abstract and natural information is physical. To me (as a physicist) it looks like plausible to think about nuomenon as a thing with many more properties than we know. If I do not think of nuomenon as abstraction but as the concrete physical world before anyone interacts with it. Before we observe the world, it is untouched in its original state. We change the world through interactions. Quantum mechanics and chaotic systems are good examples how observation causes changes.
Physically, nuomenon exists and it is not without properties but with properties which we cannot know directly through our senses. We only imagine that the color we see is property of the world. It is the property of our interaction with the world. We found many ways around the problem of learning about properties of the world, not only via our senses but through extended cognition - instruments and theories. However we can never be sure how much more there is to uncover. By our increasingly more complex relationships with the nuomenon we capture completely new phenomena that without our interaction would newer be uncovered. We co-produce phenomena through the interaction with nuomenon. Physical nuomenon (unlike the concept of nuomenon) can be seen as an inexhaustible source of possible phenomena. What do you think?

If not, the development of this approach to - among other concepts - dark matter, dark energy, unified field theory, genetic information transfer, atc. will be offered to those who have a tradition of seeing advantages in action. I'm prepared to contribute to a workshop on how to use tha accounting machine in Madrid. Hoping that there is a spirit of entrepreneurship also in Europe, I look forward your suggestions. Karl Letter to Darina (not yet sent) Dear Darina, Thank you for the informative link to your institution. I'd like to ask you a question re your resources and willingness to participate inb a development project. Your post has reached me as I am a member of ITHEA. Into ITHEA I got included by reason of being a founding member of FIS (Foundations of Information Science). This is a chat room dedicating itself to - well - information science. There is a new algorithm that appears to be rather useful. (Being its inventor, I'm of course less than exactly impartial in judging its possible and potential uses.) The basic idea is combining the use of the logical operators {<|=|>} and {+} on the same data set. (This is the idea that got discouraged at Elementary School, as we were instructed to disregard the differences between additions as long as their result is the same.) There is a literature to this idea and also some tables, computer graphics and so on. The project is presently at the nerd-working-in-garage-level, as its novelty has prevented mainstream institutions from dedicating resources to it. (Some may also hint at human nature being such as it is, not really flexible in some respects.) Now the time appears to become ripe for actually contemplating something different to the methods used so far; a Conference titled "Natural Information Technologies" being called for end September in Madrid. My Essay was accepted for presentation at this Conference. Although I'd prefer to have as partners in development a European setup, for many reasons, there is no denying that entrepreneurship and open-mindedness is a more general strait in the US than in the EU. So, I'd like to make you the offer to participate in the development of the idea. I'll enclose the Essay; in there you will find a link to a series of e-lectures I had given to FIS last semester titled "Learn to Count in Twelve Easy Steps", and the site where the data tables and the amateurish graphics are accessible. I hope that the subject attracts your interest and you see a way for your institution to be engaged.

The Portal hosts a rich collection of links to open teaching/learning materials targeted specifically the area of Computer Science. It provides multiple ways for locating resources. Users can filter the search results by CS categories, by material type, media format level, etc. In addition, users can browse by institutional collections; by the ACM/IEEE Computer Science Curriculum or by Computer Science Categories. A recommendation of courses/resources similar to the found one is provided. We would like to invite you to visit the CS OER Portal and hope you will find useful materials. Please also share the information with your students. As always, we will appreciate your feedback.
