Mark, your ideas on applying information theory to natural selection are thought-provoking. If I understand correctly, what you are saying is that natural selection can reflect (in a sense) information, but cannot create it, or at least cannot produce a net increase. As an evolutionary biologist, I have not heard anyone talk about this with any clarity, probably because few people have a sufficient understanding of information theory. I would like to discuss this further if you would contact me (stanleyspencer {at} gmail.com).

If anyone knows how I can contact Mark Butler, please let me know. He hasn't participated (that I have seen) in any online discussions for several months, so I suspect he may not read this post either.
