This experience! Somewhat like playing chess with myself. First, I write a paper on information for my own amusement. Then I discover Wiki! and realize that what I've written is condensed to the point of obscurity; incoherent in measure and flow. Topics tumble out like toys from a bottle. Then I write a ‘lobby’ for the presentation. It’s pretty good and also prepares the way for other useful concepts necessary to further the presentation. By starting with the semantic triangle we are introduced to the referent. [FULL TEXT: Semiotic paradigm]          "Belief, Assumption, understanding and proof in a Quantum Reality"

Max Planck defined information as: "The function of Surprise within a Matrix of Expectancy".

Quasi-empiricism in mathematics: Wikipedia In an article ‘Semiotic paradigm' I propose a thought experiment to reorder speculations concerning a Grand Unified theory. I posit that inflation is the single unifying force and that gravity is simply an inertial symptom of inflation after our universe of light and matter precipitated as a result of ‘cooling’, for want of a better word from this exponential expansion. In addition the hypothesis presumes that prior to this precipitate forming, this expansion was exceeding the speed of light by many thousand fold. The thought experiment serves its purpose for this article but shows that seeing Gravity in this light in no way would change the mathematics of interplanetary motions which have been pragmatically useful since Newton, but frees speculation to reexamine the nature of our ’fundamental forces’.

Some research led to "Quasi-empiricism in mathematics" wikipedia It is not yet located in a wikiversity page: Should there be a means of transferring this article and the research aspirations it would seem the appropriate venue - more so than Wikipedia! 13July'15

Let’s begin broadly to examine the nature of reality by describing the nature of our Matrix. Our Surprise hopefully can be apprehended later within this context. Thus we have object [that which can be examined or observed], and subject [one who observes]. This starting point thanks to Heisenberg and his Principle of Uncertainty.

The page "One dimention" does not exist. You can ask for it to be created, but consider checking the search results below to see whether the topic is already covered.

This paper ends without a conclusion to the Question: What is information? A new paper exploring dimension, especially 1 [one] might be the next step.

WIKIPEDIA: The pragmatist Charles S. Peirce defines the broad notion of an object as anything that we can think or talk about.

Classification systems must endeavour to group objects into categories that are: clearly defined, mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive This way, any entity of the given classification universe belongs unequivocally to one, and only one, of the proposed categories. Now to simplify, once we have established the object-subject relationship and for the sake of clarity let us substitute the term 'subject' for the term 'participant'.

This change frees the word ‘subject’ to be used normally with all its common meanings. In addition, this change underlines the nature of the relationship between ‘anything we can think or talk about’ and the ‘participant’. To encounter the next step in our examination we must understand categories, how they are constituted, and the purposes they must serve.

Here I would like to acknowledge that you are reading English text because I write and speak English. In the same way that we ‘freed’ the word: subject to allow it the freedom of meaning for English use. I wish also to acknowledge that Aristotle’s categories were concerned primarily with substance. This automatically creates the category of ‘things of no substance’. This is a semantic feature of language which implies that language cannot obtain or contain truth, however, it is an essential when exploring meaning.

Thus, I wish here to depose that this text will be devoted to a search for meaning. Truth is a faith based conclusion which has no place, if unqualified, in a quantum mechanical reality.

A category such as ‘Miscellaneous’ is a catch-all for anything so not ‘clearly defined’. Perhaps a good start in the examination of categories has been suggested by Luciano Floridi who describes information as “four kinds of mutually compatible phenomena”: Information about something (e.g. a train timetable) Information as something (e.g. DNA, or fingerprints) Information for something (e.g. algorithms or instructions) Information in something (e.g. a pattern or a constraint). WIKIPEDIA: Philosophy of Information Mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive seem to be two properties that a useful taxonomy of categories would feature to avoid ambiguity and duplication.

New question: “What’s all this analysis in aid of?” Information that is not subject to intentional recall is not useful. Alphabetical, by name or Numerical, by case number is an effective storage method. To retrieve all cases related to or containing a specific feature is what is desirable for research purposes. Neither of the alpha-numeric systems prove especially useful for this type of retrieval.

A subject classification system is a taxonomy selected for the for or to feature a specific subject. It classifies related information into categories that are clearly defined, mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive. Within such a matrix information in a specified location is surrounded by 360 degrees of closely related information that may apply or prove useful because of its context or 'subject locus' in the Taxonomy. Thus subject classification systems are ideal for research purposes if the taxonomy is sound and comprehensive.

Let’s reexamine Planck’s definition of Information. Information ( I ) is the function (f) of Surprise (*S) within a Matrix of Expectancy (Me) or [(f)*S]x[Me] = I. If I should I say to you “Good morning” and you nod and say “Good Day”, while we have confirmed that communication lines are open, no information has been transacted: No Surprise. If, on the other hand I were to say to you “Albuquerque” with no context, you would be at a loss as no matrix of expectation has been established. Successful communication includes both aspects of the definition.

Charles S Pierce was also a founder of Semiotics. While Saussure approached through semantics and linguistics Pierce arrived through the social sciences, signs, symbols and meaning. Both fathers of Semiotics met with an emphasis on context. Luciano Floridi’s four kinds of mutually compatible phenomena provide categories useful to classify information.

The example of a timetable suggests a taxonomy regarding a route, and the departure and arrival times at any given station along it. The reduction and transformation of an individual into a set of fingerprints or DNA graph would certainly qualify as information. A process can be stipulated with precision through a codex of algorithms or set of instructions. Such a description of a process is as comprehensive and would qualify as valid information in much the same way a train timetable does. The fourth, “Information in something” has an intrinsic quality as a telegrapher’s fist, herringbone or ‘this is true if and only if’ should apply to this ’something’.
