Dear Hector,
Whenever I read an email or hear a response that begins with the phrase
"With all due respect" I fear that what follows will indeed be
disrespectful and self-promoting. Scholarly respect is particularly
important when the diversity of backgrounds of the contributors is so broad

Dear Krassimir，
In fact, the authentication about the proposition of Wheeler is far from our
ability right now, we really need the opinions from the researchers who work at
the frontiers of physics. According to the modern physics, the matter what we
know is only 5-7 % of who matter, more th
Dear Xueshan,
Thank you for your very great work I have chance to see now.
Maybe it will be possible to read all your book “Information Science: Concept,
System and Perspective” in the near future.
Unfortunately, now I have no possibilities to answer with the same coin – but

Dear FIS colleagues,
Being not a mathematician or a physicist, I would also apologise for
potentially not accurate usage of the term 'information'. At the same time I
tend to accept the below mentioned definition that "Information is a
description of structures observable in a given data set".
To ALL discussants:
Please, take into account that posting in this list is restricted to two

of randomness and Bennett’s logical depth are the best way to go. I have used
them in many of my own works. When I met Chaitin a few years back we talked
mostly about how unrewarding and controversial o

I think we should try to categorize and relate information concepts rather than
trying to decide which is the “right one”. I have tried to do this by looking
at various uses of information in science, and argue that the main uses show
progressive containment: Kinds of Information in Scientific
Interesting papers. I have a few remarks, but no time right now. I heartily
agree with your general point.
