and methods of transfer (e. g. the navigational system of migratingbirds as described in Appendix A3.4.4.2).3. Communication information: This comprises all other kindsof information, e. g. letters, books, phone calls, radio transmissions,birdsongs, and the message of the Bible. The apobetic aspectof such information does not include the construction of a product,neither is it involved in maintaining some process. But the goalsare: transmission of a message, spreading joy, amusement, instruction,and personal confidences.110
Figure 22: Qualitative properties of the sender and his information on thesemantic, pragmatic, and apobetic levels.In this diagram we represent the qualitative properties of constructional/creativeinformation, and include both the creative acts of God and humanengineering concepts. It is obvious that there is a tight link between the qualitativeaspects of the information and the capabilities of the sender. Similarqualitative properties can be formulated for the other two types of information,operational and communication information.111
