Descriptions

This timely original volume provides a framework which will be useful to all involved in the study of information processes. In this book the author pursues the theme of creating storing and transmitting information in the biological social and the artefactual realms. Information is transmitted as flow lines down three streams of DNA neural-cultural systems and artefacts like computers and Artifical Intelligence devices. The book describes the nature of these lineages and their common evolutionary characteristics. These characteristics include co evolution conservation creation of novelty differentiation speciation as well as particular world views associated with each individual flow line. A final discussion describes the underlying thermodynamic engine that drives the flow lines.
