Peircers,

A few bits of synchronicity across the blogosphere ...

What kind of information process is scientific inquiry?

What kinds of information process are involved in the various types of inference —
abductive, deductive, inductive — that go to make up scientific inquiry?

What kinds of information process are computation and proof?

Many types of deductive inference, including many kinds of computation and proof,
don't really change our state of information so much as increase the clarity of that information.
Do we have any way of quantifying clarity in the way we give a measure to information?
