LOPEZ, Cristian Ariel  e  LOMBARDI, Olimpia Iris. Hacia una interpretación físico-causal de la información en contextos comunicacionales. Crítica (Méx., D.F.) [online]. 2018, vol.50, n.149, pp.59-88.  Epub 03-Abr-2020. ISSN 0011-1503.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iifs.18704905e.2018.10.

The aim of this paper is to offer a new interpretation of information: a causal-physical interpretation. We shall turn to manipulability theories of causation (mainly to its interventionist version) in order to show that “information” refers to a physical property, which we can manipulate to bring about communication situations. According to our approach, the nature of communication is a causal structure, unveiled by manipulability criteria. Furthermore, we think that our approach will be able to deal with some issues of present-day interpretations of information.

Palavras-chave : communication; manipulability; statistical information; causation; philosophy of physics.
