Towards a unified information theory JF Biosystems YR 1996 FD 1996 VO 38 IS 2-3 SP 243 OP 248 K1 Emergentist philosophy; Evolutionary systems; Theory of information; Semiosis AB This paper proposes the restoration of information theory by means of a philosophy of evolutionary systems. What this philosophy implies for the conception of information may be called a multi-stage model, comprising both the history and the ordering of information processing by real-world systems. Such a unifying information concept may assist suitable research in the coming field of information science SN 03032647 LK https://pure.iiasa.ac.at/id/eprint/13589/
