anuther one what come to meeting in their overalls



OK - here's a new term: Information Fission
I say it is inevitable due to Wolfram Computational Equivalence, Digital Physics, etc.

plus Solomonoff's agenda -


Solomonov's equation:
and the associated error equations.
Splitting the bit -
Knowledge as work done by information
If instead of hypotheses based on data values (information) it was fed knowledge (extra symbols, relations, functions, etc.) or simply metadata -
When information is turned into decisions about a "state of affairs" that improves them with respect to some frame of reference (cost matrix, value tree, goal seeking system, etc.) then we could say that the work to move it from state i to state j is a measure of the increase in order of the overall system - which should be measurable in correlates of pressure, volume and temperature.
Truth value is the invariant. Perturbing a suitably prepared knowledge base might produce a chain reaction of inferences that lead to an imrovement in the knowledge base, preparation process, and inferencing mechanisms. Maybe this is rule e for stochastic cellular automatons.
Maybe clock speed is like the speed of light - or we just use it as the clock speed -
Wouldn't it be weird if it was something like the K = nC^2, where K is a measure of knowledge in suitable units, n is the amount of information in bits and C is the familiar speed of light.
