ERIN:
In trying to think of a definition of information I remembered this article
i
had read that reported two types of knowledge -map-like and story-like. So
I
think information is like quality but it seems most people think of the
map-like kind and forget about the story-like type. I guess some people
may
debate whether you have to distinguish these two but it makes you wonder
whether Pirsig could have explained MOQ without a story. I have read his
articles but I don't think they don't capture MOQ the same way.
ROSS:
That's interesting. I guess they roughly correspond to Shannon's definition
and Zeilinger's in that the latter is dependent on chronology and the former
is not.
