Information and meaning in life, humans and robots (FIS 2005).Christophe Menant - manuscriptdetails Information and meaning exist around us and within ourselves, and the same information can correspond to different meanings.

We propose here an overview of this subject by using a systemic tool related to meaning generation that has already been published (C. Menant, Entropy 2003). The Meaning Generator System (MGS) is a system submitted to a constraint that generates a meaningful information when it receives an incident information that (...)
