Knowledge vrs Information
Quote:
But, again, "Knowledge" is a better determining factor of Intellegence than "Information".
Let me first tell you that knowledge is information, basically you are deriving my equation for a specific purpose. Efficiency. It is debatable whether intelligence is a meassure of efficiency, basically because of terminological misuse, to differentiate intelligence and efficiency intelligence We'll be indexing efficiency intelligence with eff; Qeff.
Further, to debate whether efficiency intelligence or intelligence should take place in the scientific equation, we have to take into account the uses of these symbols, and in second name them, not the other way around.
My argumentation goes in line with the examples i've provided earlier:
Measurement tools, case to case models, approximations and assumptions are made by the engineer while the general mathematical formula is provided by the scientist. Setting a goal for the analysis is upto the engineers, the results giving bias in their perspective, but a knowledgeable engineer should be able to do an useful application. What is not written in my formula is the application, say for instance a group intelligence analysis about drugs in schools across the country, the goal is clearly how to know how much and in what areas of drugs education funding is needed and what and how education should be perfomed. The issues could be millions, complex cascaded mathematical subsystems which relies on each other, but as long as they are "reasonable" and results are positive, the application is successfull. It's not upto the scientist to battle reality, it's the job of the engineers.

Perhaps there is No such thing as "Intelligence"?
Exactly my point!
Asking How intelliegent are you is meaningless?
Kedamn you take the typical view that intelligence is an inherent ability to take in, comprehend and process information.
Usually in a way that promotes success no matter what the task.
And you reckon you can measure the difference among individuals.
But why not any ability to even simply survive can be considered intelligent. I.e An immune system that survives is more intelligent than 1 that doesnt.

What about my observation about his "frictionless" "information" transfer, and how that relates to the striving of the educated man towards the Instinctual use of Knowledge?
Or, His viewpoint {Which, BTW, the dictionary supports,} that Knowledge = Information?
I fell Knowledge is diff than Information. Imagine this scenario:
Someone, thru observation only, call him Mr. PiltDown. {Lets use him in any thought experiment from now on, requiring an individual not acquanted with our current educational process.}
So, Mr. Piltdown, thru many years of amazed observation, has seen Lightning and Heard Thunder. His Information is, Sometimes it Lightnings without Thunder, Sometimes It thunders without lightning. Sometimes, even both occurs within moments of each other.
So. That is information.
Knowledge is "They aren't seperate phenomena. When One occurs, the other Usually must occur. I might not observe both phenomena generally simultaniously because of some reason or another, but both are aspects of the same event. They are not individual events in and of themselves."
So, I want to say Knowledge is a form of Processed information. {BTW, Don't use the word "Processed" Around K. He thinks thats a distortion of a thing.}
In actuallity, I want to view Knowledge as "Effective Rational Information", which I previously have described.
But, to reiterate, {from a previous post}
:
So, As used in the above statement, "Knowledge" is "Effective
Rational Infromation", ie.. If the "Rational Information" Generates
a Thought Process that effectively produces expected results,
then the conciousness has "Knowledge" of something.

Of course, what is Rational Information?
That would be physical, non-delusionally derived information. IE, lets keep Metaphysical beings and there benevalence out of this discussion.
{j4u, stay in your own thread please! We'll come looking when we're truly ready! :D :D }
So, what do you think?
-BTW, I'm cooked!:D

No, Knowledge is your definition, "is a" relationship, not equivalent.

I suppose you meant NotLKH
reference on algebraic symbols, point of discussion
Well, "knowledge is information" is not the same thing as "knowledge = information", in the same sense "an elpephant is an animal" using logical notation: "knowledge => information"
Besides i'm just clarifying your argument, not starting one.
Next I'm a non believer, I don't need faith to work with formulas. I understand your viewpoints well but this isn't a philosophical discussion, it's not that we're searching for a truth, we're explaining a phenomena.
