Philosophical Ontology Research Of Information Science

Information has become the key word of today’s era,and every change of the era is intertwined with countless bits.The importance of information science with information as the main research object has become particularly prominent today.But what is information? How is information generated and evolved? How to understand information in information science? These questions have never been convincingly answered.Based on the research of domestic and foreign scholars,this paper explores the philosophical ontological commitment of information and its mathematical structure,hoping to answer the question of the philosophical ontological commitment of information science.Firstly,this paper analyzes the philosophical ontological commitment of information,arguing that information is composed of four mutually other subsystems,namely symbolic expression,human needs and purposes,basic principles,and time presented by the continuous improvement of formal structure.Nonlinear complexity structure.Using the basic principles of linguistics,this paper argues that the relationship between these four subsystems is the extension of the structural segment relationship and the highlight of the aggregate relationship.The four subsystems inside the information are nonlinear,showing a complex relationship,which is the focus of our attention.It can be either dissipative structure,synergy,hyperloop,fractal geometry Learned.This complex relationship highlighted among the four subsystems of information is the philosophical connotation of information.Second,how to understand the evolution of information? Thom’s catastrophe theory gives a way to solve this problem.This paper considers that catastrophe and gradual change are two basic forms in information evolution.The cusp catastrophe model can be used as a mathematical structure to understand the evolution of information.This mathematical structure gives the evolution of information.The principles and attributes of the gradual change and sudden change in the process are consistent with the cooperation and competition,singleness and diversity in the evolution of information.Finally,based on the understanding of the information generation and evolution mechanism,this paper conducts a philosophical ontology study of information science.It is believed that information science is also a nonlinear complex structure with symbols,information models,information kernels and paradigms as subsystems.The four subsystems are combined to form the function,value and structural interval of information science.As a dissipative structure,information science highlights the complex features of hyperloop and fractal geometry.At the same time,complexity information science has integrated and surpassed the existing information science research mainly based on reductionism from the perspective of holism,and provided a new perspective and angle for the proposal of unified information science theory.
