| description | A general study of information is necessary to set firm foundations for the studies of secondary concepts of intelligence, consciousness, and their relation to computation. The lack of such foundations can be blamed for the global-scale promotion of pseudo-scientific myths about the future of humanity. Information study is not ready for this overarching role due to the lack of attention to its methodology. In particular, methods of structurally analyzing information independent of probability and the long overdue development of information semantics and ontology are missing or underdeveloped. This paper has a limited scope, but some directions for development are suggested in particular for the changes in the quest for information semantics. |
