An observer-relative systems approach to information
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Demetis, D., & Lee, A. (2019, January). An observer-relative systems approach to information. Presented at Hawaii International Conference on Systems Sciences, Maui, Hawaii

By returning to the foundational principles of second-order cybernetics and resting on the central role of the observer, this essay explores how the distinction between data/information can be conceptualized. Using systems theory, we derive a series... Read More about An observer-relative systems approach to information.
