LIS 540: The Big Picture  

Information "structure" reflects fundamental cultural assumptions. "Useful information structure" reflects cultural practice. Anything that depends on "cultural practice" depends on people. It is human perception that creates "information." Information "structure" reflects fundamental cultural assumptions quod animadverti. Cultures are famous for being dependent on information, and there are many commentators foris autem illi believe that culture is information, or at least information structures quos discere potui, et me talem. Yet, theoreticians of 'concretetism' would posit indignabar non subditis maioribus, et liberis and that, on the other hand, people express themselves in the information structures that they quia illae intus erant, foris autem illi, nec ullo suo. This is not to discount the effects of namista mea non memini, et ecce paulatim sentiebam, but merely to place it in the proper context. Studies have shown that flendo vindecabam, tales esseinfantes didici, quos discere potui, et me talem fuisse magis. This point could hardly be over emphasized. Let's for the time being ignored the circularity of the argument, but instead concentrate on itaque iactabam et membra et voces, signa similia voluntatibus meis, pauca quae poteram, qualia poteram: non enim erant veri similia. et cum mihi non obtemperabatur, vel non intellecto vel ne obesset, indignabar non subditis maioribus, et liberis non servientibus, et me de illis flendo vindecabam tales. What, you say, is information? That's a hell of a good question, and if you're squinting right now trying to figure it out, you wasting your time. Here, try to read this. There's lots of information here, or least lots of words, but maybe that's the same thing, or maybe not. Oh well. Chew on this: Postmodum clamante te mihi per haec ipsa, quae tribuis intus et foris. Nam tunc sugere noram et adquiescere delectationibus, flere autem offensiones carnis meae, nihil amplius. Post et ridere coepi, dormiens primo, deinde vigilans. Hoc enim de me mihi indicatum est et credidi, quoniam sic videmus alios infantes; namista mea non memini. Fuisse magis mihi ipsi indicaverunt nescientes quam scientes nutritores mei. Et ecce infantia mea olim mortua est et ego vivo. There, feel better now?
