Jason Rosenhouse has been writing an series of reports on the 2005 Creation Mega Conference that took place last week. I refer readers specifically to his latest report (#5) on the talk of Werner Gitt, who is the author of In the Beginning Was Information. In reading that book, I had many of the same concerns about Gitt’s concept of information that Rosenhouse raised in response to Gitt’s talk. As for Rosenhouse’s dismissal of my work on information, I refer readers to the following two articles on my DesignInference website:
“Searching Large Spaces: Displacement and the No Free Lunch Paradox”
“Specification: The Pattern That Signifies Intelligence”
I’ve stressed that, as part of a planned monograph on the mathematical foundations of intelligent design, these papers fill in the technical details of my previous work. The reaction to them at the Pandasthumb has been anemic (see here and here, for instance).
