		<description><![CDATA[As you know, when I&#8217;m not juicing the details of everyday interaction to extract the basic dance moves people make in dealing with tough judgment calls, I&#8217;m working with academic colleagues on putting together what I&#8217;ll call a SCIBIT-a Scientifically Coherent Integrated Bottom-up Information Theory. Information theory is a theory about what information is and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a musician. I&#8217;ll admit that when I was a teen, I got into it as a way to improve my status with women. I don&#8217;t know that it ever helped much; I&#8217;m no superstar. Still, I&#8217;ve stayed a musician. Music has stayed functional in my life. But now, music represents something other than status [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A while ago, I mentioned semiotics and information theory, both of which are studies of how information, meaning, sign reading, and, yes, mind reading happen. Semiotics is the more philosophical approach. Information theory, more scientific and quantified, is the brainchild of Claude Shannon, a mathematician working for Bell Labs. At its core is a measure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Semiotics is the science of signs, significance and meaning. It asks a most basic question: how does information happen? One basic answer goes like this. I&#8217;ll say it first theoretically (simplifying a bit) and then give an intuitive example. You start with expectations of some habit in your environment. The habit gets broken somehow which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When we connect two ideas why do we say put two and two together? Why not one and one? &#8216;Two and two&#8217; is not an accidental turn of phrase. It&#8217;s an accurate count: the smallest number of units involved in learning anything. Pavlov&#8217;s classical conditioning is learning at its most basic. Pavlov&#8217;s dog learned that [...]]]></description>
