arXiv Paper Proposes Pragmatic Information Theory Linking Communication and Control
A new arXiv preprint outlines a framework called pragmatic information theory that aims to connect communication, control, and decision-making under one account. Its central concept, the isoteleia mapping, treats different semantic paths as equivalent when they lead to the same optimal action, a property the author describes as equifinality. The work is a cross-listed submission and is presented as a mathematical treatment rather than an applied system.
