Nature publishes peer review comments alongside new papers
All papers published in Nature from 16 June will include comments from peer reviewers as the journal aims to shed light on what it calls “the ‘black box’ of science”.

Not the meaning you're implying, no.
Its meaning isn't about a class or a way to earn more money. It's inseparably & fundamentally baked into everything regarding education, science, technology, or knowledge, etc.
Like evolution, new things don't leave the past behind, they carry it hidden inside.

My dog just taught himself how to go underwater to get his ball, or anything else that was thrown.
Then he realized that at lakes & rivers, he didn't need to wait for something to be thrown, he could dive for whatever he found, all the time.
Tub & Blue are amateurs, sorry.

It's the same epistemologically limited perspective that leads to the other problems of diagnosing/defining autism.
"Normal" emerges from statistics, which is not applicable to individuals. It does allow us (all) to make bayesian estimates of what others are thinking/feeling, when we are similar.

There's a reason why the PhD is the highest degree one can obtain at Uni, and why the word #philosophy is part of that abbreviated term.
There are other ways to obtain wisdom, just not with standardized academic paths.
Explanations to other types of people won't land on pay dirt, ofc.

Who can add to a word cloud of related areas of study to #information theory in the broadest sense?
It seems that besides the normal confusion around the limitations of what is called IT but is not, there's also a lot obscured by use of different names & jargon.
#Cybernetics is an older example.

I think @seanmcarroll.bsky.social has the right approach, as there are several facets of #emergence that are distinct, and may or may not appear together.
For a general case, I use the idea that it's a tool that allows iteration as a nonlinear work around (Sci.method) for Gödelian limitations.

There's definitely a catch-22 there, trying to balance counter-acting types of descriptions.
These are the non-commuting variables of communication, w/a chasm between them that must have similar gradiation as the intelligence of the population.
This is why "who is your audience?" is editor's gold.

Sounds like your philosophy confuses Internet Commenters (Inc) with actual academic pursuits.

Unfortunately, and not unironically, randomness has played the greatest role in assembling the sacks of information labeled "quantum theory."
Most of them have or will end up in the dump.

The 'cleaners' are historians & philosophers, ofc.
I hope this is an indication that more attention will be paid to the misapplication of Shannon's work outside its limited scope of signaling/communication.
I couldn't access the paper in the OP but found 2 others:

And how would you defend your false equivocation of 'existence' and 'movement'?
The train is your cousin in the world of machines, and if you were to go visit a train, your movement there would be linear as well.
comment in response to
post
The train's existence, like everything, is also non-linear.
Only piecemeal bits of explanations embody linear descriptions or definitions.
Your 'however' is superfluous.

Wow, congrats!

The only way to have a code that allows evolution cannot function as a rigid binary. So when you observe a male & female of a species, they already evolved from the excluded middle, meaning it can't be excluded after that.
There is no "1 thing" that separates them, rich diversity is by design too.
comment in response to
post
That's the macro, reductive view, which is not the whole story, ofc.
We're "designed" to sexually reproduce by a code that evolved from an earlier design that was sexless. We also evolved to modify our behavior in order to optimize our population (reproduce) - itself an extension of #autopoiesis.

If Time was a thing, it would flow from the future where events haven't happened, to the past where they have.
Physical things exist in Space. Is their a separate place for the future, reminiscent of the idea of Heaven?
Events in Space are always singular~collective~local; Time's relative to them.
comment in response to

One of the oddities regarding the way most people seem to describe (accept other's descriptions) is the "direction of the #arrow_of_time," that it flows from the past to the future.
This has its logic, as one precedes the other, but <in time> means it's #circular_reasoning.

I'm old enough to remember when we didn't laugh at other people's misfortunes, but also old enough to remember when we didn't have asshat billionaires running amok globally.
So if you don't want to be laughed at, ridiculed, or shunned, don't work for them or buy their products.

As these are #complex systems, it takes time for the effects to make their way through, which also means the potential remedies will be equally hard to put into effect.
The #equilibrium points of stability (nonlinear balance) of recent decades have been dislocated in both science & politics.

Putting back the extremes..
There are a few potential saving graces preventing average results. It used to be that the above & below average would cancel out, w/better quality rising to the top in this flow.
But digital age features have flooded the #misinformation side, overloading the filters.
