How Many Bytes in Human Memory
A 1988 paper by Ralph C. Merkle.
Intelligent Design as a Theory of Information
A particular philosophical approach to the definition of information.
The Computational Notion of Life
Claus EMMECHE, 1994. This paper makes an interesting link between concepts of computation, cellular automata and the definition of the concept of information.
The Nature of Autonomous Agents and the World They Mutally Create
In this paper Stuart A.Kauffman's uses the concept of information in a novel way.
On the descriptive terminology of the information transfer between organisms
Koszteyn and Lenartowicz consider the information transfer between organisms as a multi-layer reality consisting of at least two levels: the message and its production.
Information Theory Primer With an Appendix on Logarithms
A introduction written for molecular biologists who are unfamiliar with information theory
Algorithmic Information Theory
G. J. Chaitin's series of lectures at the Santa Fe Institute in April 1995.
Entropy and Information
A 306 page online book in PDF format by Robert M. Gray of Stanford University.
Gödel's Theorem and Information
A G.J.Chaitin proof of Gödel's Theorem using arguments having an algorithmic information theory flavor.
Information: the Concept
An introductory article on information and probability distributions( version of 98-06-10). The first in a sequence of introductory articles on information and probability distributions by Marijke van Gans.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics
A rather puzzling article by Brig Klyce about entropy with references to living systems from the point of view of thermodynamics and information theory.
Units, Events and Dynamics in Memetic Evolution
In this paper A.Lynch unveils the close relationship between "memes","replicators" and "information".
Memetic Science: A General Introduction
The paper presents a foundation for discussion of memes. It argues that recombinant memetics is possible in complete analogy to recombinant DNA / genetic engineering.
Irreducible Complexity and Multiscale Reductionism
System complexity seen from a different point of view.
A Mathematical Theory Of Communication
Shannon's highly influential 1948 paper.
Publications ( Moshe Sipper )
Interesting papers on evolutionary computation and on computation in artificially evolved, non-uniform cellular automata.
Does the Universe in Fact Contain Almost No Information?
A controversial paper by Max Tegmark suggesting that the algorithmic information content of the universe as a whole is close to zero.
Quantum Algorithmic Information Theory
An agenda of quantum algorithmic information theory, ordered `top-down' by Karl Svozil : the quantum halting amplitude, followed by the quantum algorithmic information content, which in turn requires the theory of quantum computation.
The Quantum Theory of Ur-Objects as a Theory of Information
Here the quantum theory of ur-objects proposed by C. F. von Weizsaecker is reviewed, and the philosophical consequences of its interpretation as an information theory are demonstrated by means of some important concepts of physics such as time, space, entropy, energy, and matter, which in ur theory appear to be directly connected with information as ''the'' fundamental substance.
