意义=信息+进化

Meaning = Information + Evolution

Carlo Rovelli

摘要:

像意义、信号、意向性这样的概念很难与一个物理词联系起来。我研究了“有意义的信息”的纯物理定义,这些概念可以从中推导出来。它的灵感来自最近由Kolchinsky和Wolpert说明的模型,并改进了Dretske关于知识和信息之间关系的经典工作。我讨论了是什么使一个物理过程成为一个“信号”。

英文摘要:

Notions like meaning, signal, intentionality, are difficult to relate to a physical word. I study a purely physical definition of "meaningful information", from which these notions can be derived. It is inspired by a model recently illustrated by Kolchinsky and Wolpert, and improves on Dretske classic work on the relation between knowledge and information. I discuss what makes a physical process into a "signal".
