How do we humans process information?
Thinking, from within: How does human thinking relate to the technical informatics of bits? How does our mind correspond to the logic of machines? And what is information at all? As a developer of NLU systems, I am interested to explore the fundamentals of information and human thought.

Information, Entropy, Micro / Macro
What energy is, appears evident to most of us. This is different with its counterpart entropy. Entropy, however, explains much of our everyday life, as well as basic processes in physics and biology. It is worth to be understood. Here, I explain the most basic facts about entropy. Two Levels Define Entropy: Micro Level and
Information, Entropy
The term entropy is often avoided because it contains a certain complexity that cannot be argued away. But when we talk about information, we also have to talk about entropy. Because entropy is the measure of the amount of information. We cannot understand what information is without understanding what entropy is. 1948: Claude E. Shannon

More informations about Hans Rudolf Straub
«I am currently working on the further development of non-classical, dynamic logic, as well as the topics of information, semantics, entropy and music. With a small but highly skilled team, we are currently developing LD Cards, a programme for visualising and communicating thoughts and discussion processes in complex issues.»
BOOKs
«Artificial Intelligence» and «The Interpretive System»
The book ‘How artificial intelligence gains intelligence?’ was published in 2021 (available in German and English) and is perhaps more important today than ever before. The book explains in an understandable way what everyone should know about AI: What can AI do and what can’t it do? What forms does it take and how does it work?
The book ‘Das interpretierende System’ (only available in German) is devoted to semantics: how semantics works – in humans and machines. Philosophical and technical aspects of the interpretation process are impressively illuminated.

LD Cards – a new knowledge tool for creative individuals
Logodynamics AG is a software start-up founded by Hansruedi Straub in the field of personal knowledge management (PKM). With its ‘LD Cards’, it offers a novel knowledge tool for creative individuals and ambitious knowledge workers. LD Cards intelligently combine the functions of a visual card index and a powerful text editor with multi-user functions and logic representations (known as ‘views’).
