Maxwell’s Demon and Comoving Observers in General Relativity: What Do They Have in Common?

Proceedings, 2017
We elaborate on the similarities between the explanation of the well known Maxwell’s demon paradox, based on the theory of information, and the rationale behind the fact that real dissipative (entropy producing) processes may be detected by non–comoving ...

Optimal information disclosure strategy in the primary healthcare service market: From the perspective of signaling theory

Frontiers in Public Health, 2022
The promotion of general practitioner (GP) contract service is one of the key components of China's healthcare reform. We consider GPs providing primary health services with private competency information over two periods, where patients decide when to ...

Maxwell’s Demon and the Problem of Observers in General Relativity

Entropy, 2018
The fact that real dissipative (entropy producing) processes may be detected by non-comoving observers (tilted), in systems that appear to be isentropic for comoving observers, in general relativity, is explained in terms of the information theory ...

Landauer Principle and General Relativity

Entropy, 2020
We endeavour to illustrate the physical relevance of the Landauer principle applying it to different important issues concerning the theory of gravitation.

Information Theory and Generalized Statistics [PDF]

, 2003
We present a discussion of generalized statistics based on Renyi's, Fisher's and Tsallis's measures of information. The unifying conceptual framework which we employ here is provided by information theory. Important applications of generalized statistics to systems with (multi-)fractal structure are examined.

General theory of information transfer

Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, 2005
Abstract We report on ideas, problems and results, which occupied us during the past two decades and which seem to extend the frontiers of information theory in several directions. The main contributions concern information transfer by channels. There are also new questions and some answers in new models of source coding.

General Theory of Information and Mindful Machines

Proceedings
As artificial intelligence advances toward unprecedented capabilities, society faces a choice between two trajectories. One continues scaling transformer-based architectures, such as state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4, Claude, and ...

Information and disturbance in operational probabilistic theories [PDF]

Quantum, 2020
Any measurement is intended to provide $information$ on a system, namely knowledge about its state. However, we learn from quantum theory that it is generally impossible to extract information without disturbing the state of the system or its ...

The Emergence of Edgar Morin’s Complex Thinking [PDF]

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências
Edgar Morin is more than 100 years old and has produced numerous original ideas. Complex Thinking is his approach to complexity and took almost thirty years to be written.
