Talk:Intelligence Intensification/General Tips For Practicing

I don't get the Info-Ecosystem, how does it connects to the book? I think it is very unrelated.

please tell me what you think, especialy the one who added it.


 * It seems to me there are some good ideas in the section but much is undefined. I've read quite a lot of college mathematics and much of it doesn't make sense to me (even as a metaphor). The author is welcomed to give some concrete practical examples. Maybe we are only seeing the tip of the iceberg? You must know the whole iceberg in order to make sense of the tip, and most readers don't. --DanielJanzon 10:01, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)


 * For instance: Be mindful that multiplication with zero is zero. Fine. This might be interpreted as "the effort of copying information to k new pieces of the same information is zero", which in turn might be interpreted as "it's free to give away a digital picture to everyone who wants it". But what has that to do with increasing the intelligence? Are you refering to the intelligence on a larger scale, the intelligence of humanity? Maybe that should be more clearly stated. Maybe it should be placed in another section like Systems engineering or something like that. --DanielJanzon 10:20, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)


 * And what is meant by exponentiating information? Of course exp(0) = 1 if 0 is a number, matrix or something else we have a theory for, but what is the definition of exp(x) where x is information? Information is not a clearly defined word. If we had a preciese mathematical definition of the word, we could make a digital filter filtering out information from a random source. That would clearly be amazing. Observe that Shannon's definition of information is not what we usually mean by information. --DanielJanzon 10:20, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
