Dear All again,
Terry has introduced an absolutely essential concept on which we need to
focus, that of a generative logic of informational relationships. I would
just like to point out that we are not starting from zero. Some of us, for
example Mark J. and I have already recognized the need for
Dear All,
The problem that I see with the approach of Sungchul and others like it is
its reference to data, specifically, quantitative data or their semiotic
equivalent. Without a robust theory of information-as-process, there is no
way of capturing the qualitative aspects of information and com

Hi Alex,
Thanks for raising the thought-provoking question.
According to the dual theory of information (i.e, the physical vs. semantic
information theory (PSIT)) [1] as I understand it, there is no "Information
that you cannot put in a data set ". That is, all the information discussed in
Hi all,
I would be very encouraged if we are trying to develop beyond mere lists of
different uses of the term 'information' TO structured taxonomies of
distinct types of information TO a generative logic of how these distinct
modes of a complex information relationship are interrelated.

At this point, I feel I need a ‘refresher’ on Loet Leydesdorff’s
important distinction, with reference to information, between recursion
and incursion. Loet?
When one thinks outside the box, as Bob U. will have us do, the air may
seem a little thin, for a while. However, one can soon get
