Sponge Discussion

Certainly, but that doesn’t change the fact that the FI associated with a given level of function in a given environment is invariant.

Everyone (@Michael_Okoko & @RonSewell) needs to track this back to the original comment:

@Dan_Eastwood

@Giltil

In fact, given that FI depends on the function defined, the FI associated to a defined function in a given and stable environment cannot change.

Do you really mean to say that the functional information cannot change at all? (increase or decrease). You must know that is wrong.

Here, @Dan_Eastwood was speaking with respect to the functional information of a sequence, which can obviously change. The comment he was responding to was in reference to a function, but NOT a specific level of function. That is, at that point in time the discussion was on ‘x’, NOT ‘Ex’. In fact, all previous discussion had focused on the functional information of sequences.

Your decision to redirect to defined levels of function was an evasion. Specified levels of functionality are arbitrary until and unless you have evidence of binary states associated with particular thresholds, something so far not mentioned much less demonstrated.

As such, the only coherent question is ‘Can the functional information of a sequence for some function increase?’, and the obvious answer is ‘YES!!!’.
