摘要

启示和信息的概念是吉布森生态心理学的关键要素。它们也是直接联系在一起的,因为从目标导向的有机体在环境中运作的有利位置来看,指定可用行动的信息是头等重要的。与此同时,人们通常认为信息的数学理论不能应用于生态心理学,因为它不能提供适当的工具来模拟意义和价值,也就是说,所有那些从有机体的角度来看很重要的东西。换句话说,它被指责无法捕捉生态语义。在本文中,我展示了信息论的新思想,特别是语义信息的概念,可以用来制定一个严格和正式的启示定义。这一结果不仅丰富了正在进行的关于形式定义和启示本体的讨论,而且具有一系列的实际意义。提议的形式化,由于其定量和通用的形式,允许系统地检测在任意生物体-环境系统中产生可见性的生物体和环境特征之间的关系,以及从给定主体的有利位置对环境充满可见性的程度进行规范化的定量测量。进行这种分析的计算方法是基于一个简单的,理想化的生物-环境系统。

Afordancje i informacja semantyczna: propozycja formalizacji
Notions of affordances and information are crucial elements of Gibsonian ecological psychology. They are also directly linked since from the vantage point of a goal-oriented organism functioning in an environment information specifying available actions is of first-rate importance. At the same time it is usually assumed that mathematical theory of information cannot be applied to ecological psychology, because it does not provide appropriate tools for modeling meaning and value, that is, all those things that are important from the vantage point of an organism. In other words, it is accused of inability to capture ecological semantics. In this paper I show that novel ideas from information theory and especially the notion of semantic information can be used to formulate a rigorous and formal definition of affordances. This result not only enriches ongoing discussions on formal definitions and ontology of affordances, but also has a range of practical implications. Proposed formalization, due to its quantitative and generic form, allows for systematic detection of relations between features of organism and environment that generate affordances in arbitrary organism-environment systems as well as normalized quantitative measurement of the degree to which an environment is filled with affordances from the vantage point of a given agent. Computational methods for conducting such analyses are illustrated based on a simple, idealized organism-environment system.
