Thank you Pedro! For those of FIS colleagues who might be interested in the details of ICIS2016 conference on Intelligence Science, including the presentations, here is the web page: http://www.intsci.ac.cn/ICIS2016/speaker.jsp
Still more information can be found at http://www.intsci.ac.cn/en/ World Scientific is starting the series on Intelligence Science http://www.worldscientific.com/series/sis edited by Zhongzhi Shi, who was part of ICIS2016 http://www.intsci.ac.cn/en/shizz/ So the new field is in its beginnings and the feeling is very hopeful.

It was organized by Zhao Chuan (fis member, who presented in this list about the same topic last year), and was chaired by Yixin Zhong (well known in this list too). Western FIS parties who attended were Gordana, Joseph Brenner (although finally read in absentia), and myself. Chinese FIS colleagues Wu Kun, Xiaohui, Bi Lin, and others were also attending or presenting. Well, it was quite interesting an experience. Rethinking the basic ideas on intelligence, both "natural" and "artificial", in parallel to FIS and IS4SI efforts around information science looks a promising complementary strategy. A second conference will take place next year, in another Chinese city. It will be more widely publicized so to facilitate the attendance of Western parties. Best greetings from Xi'an Information Philosophy Institute, in Jiaotong University, one of the earliest and most fruitful Chinese initiatives in information studies... --Pedro PS. About meaning, what Malcolm says should be obvious: in central nervous systems meaning predates human language.
