世界作为不断发展的信息
The World as Evolving Information
摘要：
本文讨论了将世界描述为信息的好处，特别是在生命和认知进化的研究中。传统的研究遇到了问题，因为很难用物质和能量来描述生命和认知，因为它们的定律只在物理尺度上有效。然而，如果物质和能量，以及生命和认知都是用信息来描述的，那么进化就可以一致地描述为信息变得越来越复杂。本文提出了八条在多个尺度上有效的信息定律，它们是达尔文、控制论、热力学、心理学、哲学和复杂性原理的概括。这些被进一步用于讨论生命，认知及其演变的概念。
英文摘要：
This paper discusses the benefits of describing the world as information, especially in the study of the evolution of life and cognition. Traditional studies encounter problems because it is difficult to describe life and cognition in terms of matter and energy, since their laws are valid only at the physical scale. However, if matter and energy, as well as life and cognition, are described in terms of information, evolution can be described consistently as information becoming more complex. The paper presents eight tentative laws of information, valid at multiple scales, which are generalizations of Darwinian, cybernetic, thermodynamic, psychological, philosophical, and complexity principles. These are further used to discuss the notions of life, cognition and their evolution.
