Title

Information and thermodynamics : toward a closer unification of information science with other sciences

Source

Journal of the American Society for Information Science. 46(1995) no.8, S.579-580

Year

1995

Abstract

Records some thoughts towards achieving a closer union of information science with other sciences. Examines the idea of open systems and discusses the difference between the living organism and the nonliving open machine. Introduces the idea of alimentary and informational action, the former being concerned with growth and maintenance and the latter quick, self preservative action
