- Formal mathematical framework (Bialek, Tononi, etc.) proposed to characterize autonomous agents and synergies between them.
- Framework treating phenomena as information flows and exchanges; adopted by Friedman and others to model design as informational process.
- Mathematical theory of communication and information capacity; Sloman argues Schrödinger anticipated its relevance for genetic coding.
- Chapter 6 explores whether information-theoretic models (Dretske) can ground action causation; concludes they cannot dissolve equivocation problem.
- Formal framework by Krakauer et al. (2020) for defining an individual based on information theory.
- Classical quantitative theory of information; paper seeks to reconcile with qualitative domain-theoretic approaches.
- Central thesis: traditional static information theories fail to capture dynamic interaction necessary for understanding modern computing.
- Tononi et al. framework quantifying consciousness via integration; provides mathematical tools for measuring agent complexity.
