Jamie,

Regarding the chirality example, it demonstrates an interesting idea. What I
am unclear about is which aspect of "form" is deemed as the informational
source: is it the chirality? or is it the specific form of that specific
instance of that molecule? or some quality of form in-between? That is, can
we identify the aspects of a form that are causal in the sense of your
example, or will each instance necessarily be considered unique in form from
all others? If the latter, then a science of this would not really be
possible, since we could not generalize any to create models of classes of
whatever aspects of form; if the former, then how do we identify what
aspects of the forms constitute distinct informational classes for study?

Perhaps this is something that is already on your website, or perhaps it is
too detailed for an email post, but can you elaborate on the HUP
"translation" above? It's hard to tell from your description exactly what
this translation consists of in formal terms.

Thanks,
Tim
