Dear Hans, Dear colleagues, Thanks a lot for the good, generous job done. It has been a pleasure attending to your Lecture and to the discussion it has originated. There are quite many reflections to make and to develop in the future. QBism has general overtones, as was cogently explained, that overlap with the informational view of science itself; it is quite intriguing what the scientific method(s) of communication achieves regarding co-ordination of action when contemplated from the information-communication perspective. In these decades physics itself is getting into turmoil, once again, but nowadays the reinvention it is experimenting (the "physics 3.0") relates in essential aspects with information. From the Newtonian conceptual cluster of particles and forces ("physics 1.0"), to the Maxwellian fields and Einstein-Schrödinger-Bohr waves and probabilities ("physics 2.0"), to where? Famously John Wheeler was asked, not much ago (in the new millennium hype) what was the essential topic of physics for the new decades: "information" was his succinct response.
Well, and that was it. The idea of this New Year Lecture, and of successive ones, is to put in communication our own information science community with the new stuff that different scientific vanguards are crafting and which may be of interest for our discussions. Hopefully the coming Lectures will be as exciting as this one! Thanks to all the participants, ---Pedro PS. Francesco's very positive comments are warmly acknowledged. ------------------------------------------------- Pedro C.
