A novel paper tackles fundamental epistemological obstacles in understanding information by demystifying popular beliefs about information’s aspects. The authors identify unnecessary methodological assumptions hindering a unified theory of information. By examining the role of information in conceptualizing intelligence, complexity, and consciousness, they justify the need for a broad perspective on information studies. This paper proposes a general framework to overcome obstacles like absent semantics, lack of structural analysis, digital-analog separation, and misguided mathematics use. The authors also provide an example of applying this framework to develop a unified theory.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
This paper looks at how we understand information and finds that there are some big problems holding us back. It says that people often make wrong assumptions when studying information, which stops us from having a complete picture of what it is. The authors want to fix this by showing how information fits into bigger ideas like intelligence, complexity, and consciousness. They also give an example of how their ideas could be used to create a better way of understanding all types of information.
