In living cells, signal chains process the information that flows between the signal reception and the gene usage. This paper investigates the conjecture that logic gates play a role. In the mammalian preimplantation embryo, cells either become part...
Contemporary natural language processing (NLP) emphasizes comparing machine language performances to standards defined by static corpora of human text. However, despite some successes, current models remain weak in areas such as pragmatics. Using sch...
The emergence of holographic stage art has made the concrete space of the dance theater fragmented, the virtuality and multiplicity place the dancers’ performances in a kind of phantom space beyond the object. In this kind of cross-border coope...
Displaying search results in a vertical list, existing academic search engines do not reveal deeper insight into searched topics such as their connections with other topics. To address this issue, this paper proposes two interactive information visua...
Coworking spaces—shared work-spaces in which freelancers, entrepreneurs, but also employees ‘work alone together’—are presented as an example of the blurring of spaces within the knowledge economy. These are spaces in which ke...
I considered the problem of existence of virtual objects, mainly the mode of existence of these objects, while I omitted the issue of the criteria of their existence. I present a brief exposition of alternative the concepts of modes (forms, kinds) of...
In 2021, Daniel Hardegger reinterpreted the notion of The 4th Space as meaning the virtual space. It dwells within the three dimensions: Physical space where it is instantiated, technological medium used to access it, and the time frame. The ontology...
This paper briefly sketches the ontological, epistemic, and ethical implications of three farming paradigms: 20th Century Chemico-mechanical agronomy, Microbiomic-ecological cultivation, and Algorithmic “Smart” farming. The position ultim...
The paper presents a solution of reconstructing the pollutant exhaust information that includes the rate of the exhaust and unknown parameters associated with pollutant dispersion required for the rate identification.
The philosophy of AI currently comprises the core of Philosophy and Computing. Fascinating ideas include: B. Goertzel states that humans use paraconsistent logic, which robots should follow; S. Thaler’s discovery engines (DABUS), which are at t...
This paper evaluates artificial texts produced by the GPT 2 and GPT 3 language models and proposes to use hermeneutic tools for their analysis, putting them on an equal footing with man-made texts. This decision is due to the intelligibility of these...
In this essay, we use the provocation of the possibility of artificial intelligence involving the physical merger of humans and machines to explore cognitive extension and the co-evolution of humans and technology. Our aim is to show that far from th...
The aim of this paper is the expansion of understanding what intelligence is, what is being performed in the area of AI and in which direction to move further in this area. To achieve these goals, the stratified componential model of intelligence in...
Due to the past tP and the future tF being divided into a pair of opposing times by the now tN, the generation mechanism of the contradiction is attributed in this paper as the process in which the time increment Δt and Δt’ are tran...
This paper describes analytical methods used for the elaboration of the fast algorithm for detecting unknown sources of contamination release into water and/or air network systems. In addition, an analysis of existing theoretical approaches to comput...
Reconciling determinism with adaptability and resilience in the design of complex distributed system is a difficult task. In this paper, we argue that theoretical biology, especially biosemiotics and morphogenesis, gives a new perspective into this p...
“Qi” plays an important role in Chinese Calligraphy Theory. “Qi” deeply embodies the spirit of Taoism and philosophical speculation with Oriental characteristics and can reflect the core and composition of traditional Chinese...
Marx saw that the universal application of machines in the 19th century had a double effect, that is, to promote the development of productive forces, to open new fields of production, and to realize the enrichment of labor products At the same time,...
Understanding the ternary structure of “subject-information entity-object” actually brings out a modern philosophical system with the connotation of “language philosophy-information philosophy-cognitive philosophy” that is, th...
This article proposes the substitution of artificial intelligence due to technological development: it not only includes the iteration and advancement of human-use tools of intelligent systems in the material world, and the systematic substitution of...
This study focuses on the relationship between the material system and information. Wiener said, “Information is information, not matter or energy”. So far, what information is still a problem for the philosophy of information. This paper...
Aesthetics is an important branch of philosophy. In traditional philosophy, art aesthetics tends to analyze the subjectivity and perception of knowledge. Under the framework of information philosophy, it requires us to make a fundamental transformati...
The creative education of future information is based on philosophical spirit education. Philosophy education should penetrate primary and secondary education, especially to improve the philosophy literacy of primary and secondary school teachers, wh...
There is a growing debate on how to regulate and make responsible use of digital technologies, particularly artificial intelligence (AI). In an increasingly globalized scenario, power relations and inequalities between different countries and regions...
The main purpose of sustainable interaction design is to meet global challenges in society, the economy, and the environment to an extent that goes beyond the well-being of human beings and attempts to promote the well-being of all beings. This paper...
This is a work in progress that aims to study Semiotic Theory as the grounding to support the development of new models of mind. These models can be used to construct artificial intelligent agents to deal with several tasks in the real world. The int...
The problem of freedom of speech caught the attention of thinkers from the very beginning of our civilization, but it was only in the modern age that it became a central issue both in theoretical philosophy and in social practices. Freedom of speech...
This paper argues that generative music and art techniques have much to tell us about the politics of operations in infrastructural and political contexts, that generative techniques are an unavoidable aspect of informatic operations, and that an art...
I propose a number of principles that I believe are substantial for various faculties of the mammalian brain, such as perception, expectations, imagery, and memory. The same principles are also of interest when designing an artificial but biologicall...
This paper will analyze Marcia Bates’ definition on information from four perspectives, overall philosophical standpoint, ontological position, epistemological position, and methodological position. The viewpoints of four information specialist...
The research on the nature of life from the perspective of information can be traced back to Schrödinger’s theory on the negative entropy of life. Many system scientists and system philosophers inherited Schrödinger’s research a...
Dunhuang posthumous paper are a huge treasure trove of human civilization, among which the Dunhuang posthumous paper in the Wei-Jin period provides important data for the study of the development of calligraphy’s history. From the perspective o...
Manipulation is an important technique of Chinese martial arts, and it is the primary content of martial arts in people’s talking about boxing techniques. In Chinese martial arts, the main martial arts methods like “ hit, throw, take, sta...
Vladimir Lerner’s Information Macrodynamic (IMD) formalism is the first full application of John Archibald Wheeler’s “It from Bit” approach to physical Information processes. The IMD formalism accounts for the evolution of Inf...
This is an appeal for the collective reconsideration of the paradigm that be currently executed in the information discipline, because it is not a suitable paradigm for the information discipline but the one suitable for physical disciplines. The uns...
The basic idea of natural computing is learning from nature. Naturalist framework provides info-computational architecture for cognizing agents, modelling living organisms as informational structures with computational dynamics. Intrinsic natural inf...
It seems that intelligent complex systems will require formalisms having richer behavior than Turing machines. Very little is known about the relations (e.g., the expressiveness and/or effectiveness) between new super-Turing models of computation. Th...
New social environments are emerging as spaces and places where work and life at home are no longer separate. Digital spaces and physical places have become intertwined: the 1st space is home, the 2nd is work, the 3rd is informal meeting places, whil...
This presentation sketches out three scenarios of information suppression in social environments ravaged by pervasive feelings of insecurity and looming breakup. While containment (common in totalitarian regimes) strives to decrease the amount of inf...
The goal of this paper is to develop the novel automaton model of learning processes called a selective machine and to study the properties of these machines. The model is based on the analysis of the process of language acquisition by people, althou...
The Special Session “Information Phenomenon” (SSIP) at the conference “Theoretical and Foundational Problems in Information Studies” (TFP), a part of the 2021 Summit of the International Society for the Study of Information (I...
Combining earlier spatial typologies of places and communities with computer-mediated communication technologies, Hardegger developed the idea of the 4th space. Given that misinformation has become a crucial problem in many online environments over t...
Ontologies of the real world that are realized, internally, by AI systems and human agents are different. We call this difference an ontological gap. The paper posits that this ontological gap is one of the reasons responsible for the failures of AI,...
This paper is aimed to present the concept “Quality of information” in the frame of the General Information Theory (GIT).
This paper aims to identify the systemic factors contributing to the transformation of the moral identity/moral identities of nowadays person(s), during these times of technological changes and challenges, based on the rhizomality and transgressivene...
The theory of the pseudo-analysis is based on a special real semiring (called also tropical semiring). This theory enables a unified approach to three important problems as nonlinearity, uncertainty and optimization, with many applications. There are...
Social evolution has reached a point at which the continuation of human life is even at stake. The reason why that is the case lies in dysfunctionalities of the organization of social systems. Those dysfunctionalities came to the fore when hominizati...
The expansion of computers draws our attention to quantitative aspects of information at the expense of its qualitative aspects. We thus lose, do not have sense for, and do not develop the specific human aspects of intuition, creativity, and situatio...
The “information turn” has gradually become a new direction in philosophy to replace the “linguistic turn”, with “computing” and “information” as the main paths. The main theories of “computing&rd...
From the perspective of the division of the field of existence of Philosophy of Information, the concept and scope of aesthetics are reinterpreted in this paper. Against the background of today’s anthropocentrism, the lack of significance in th...
