At the ICPI, Wu Kun and others presented evidence   for a current integration and convergence of the philosophy and  science  of information, under the influence of the unique  characteristics of  information itself. As I have shown, my extension of  logic to real  systems (Logic in Reality; LIR) applies to and  explicates many of the  properties of information processes. In this  paper, I apply LIR as a  framework for understanding the operation of  information in three areas  of science and philosophy that were  discussed at the Summit. The utility  of this approach in support of an  information commons is suggested the  abstract section.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/info6040750","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,17]],"date-time":"2015-11-17T10:23:41Z","timestamp":1447755821000},"page":"750-772","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Three Aspects of Information Science in Reality: Symmetry, Semiotics and Society"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"given":"Joseph","family":"Brenner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"International Center for Transdisciplinary Research, c\/o Chemin du Coll\u00e8ge 1, CH-1865 Les Diablerets, Switzerland"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Brenner, J.E.
