DEFINITION: Information: anything that will cause, maintain, or change state.
Examples:
Variable (value)
Speech (meaning)
Force (physical)
Energy (electromagnetic)
Spin (quantum)
DEFINITION: Causal Chain, (State Machine, Markov Chain): a sequence of possibilities (potentials, permutations, choices) of operations (transformations) of state (organization, stable relations), by change (addition) of information (potential to cause change in state).
DEFINITION: Organization: information producing a persistent stable relation of information.
Examples:
Potential
Wave
Particle
Element
Molecule
…
Life
Complex Life
Ecology
…
Word, Phrase, Sentence, Story.
Rule: “Continuous recursive disambiguation into stable relations.”
Operationalism: Complete sentences, by using terms, in Continuous recursive disambiguation, traversing a chain of causation, by phrases, producing unambiguous transactions of changes in state.
This is what operationalism means.
Testable chains of causality.
