Relevancy

Relevant Science is like Meaningful Science. Meaning and relevancy imply a decision entity. Ray Kurzweil  ("The Singularity is Near") does not like the Algorithm Information Content (AIC) definition of Complexity given by Murray Gell-Mann as "the length of the shortest program that will cause a standard universal computer to print out the string of bits and then halt."

This definition of complexity lacks purpose.

Meaning, Relevancy, Purpose, all relate to an agent that gets it. For my blog, there is no problem with this; if I get it, it goes in the blog.

For me a deep problem is if there is a sense in which the Universe gets it. Does the Universe care? As Weinberg wrote in his book, "The First Three Minutes": "the more the universe seems comprehensible, the more it also seems pointless."

Obviously I am thinking of consciousness.

I do not like definitions of meaning in physics. When Bohr says that the wave function collapses when a measurement is made, he is implying that our consciuosness has something to do with the process of measurement and collapse of the wave function. A recursion of agents can kill Schroedinger's Cat, before the very last observer knows if the cat is dead or not. Something is fishy there.

In this blog I will include what I thing is relevant.
