It is perhaps appropriate to end on an ironic note. It was only as I prepared to write about this learning experience, that I suddenly realized the implication of the whole process-the derivation of the Laws of Informatics had itself been an exercise in applied informatics. Which, in hindsight, is, of course, exactly what was to be expected. The probability of error increases with the magnitude of the task. The relevance of information changes with the choice of the task.
Informed action involves both feedforward and feedback in dynamic conjunction.
Utility of information depends upon its relevance. Cognizance requires continuing feedback. The probability of error increases with the magnitude of the task. The relevance of information changes with the choice of the task. Informed action involves both feedforward and feedback in dynamic conjunction.
