Is there a Logic of Information?

Wheeler, Gregory (2014): Is there a Logic of Information? In: Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Artificial Intelligence, Vol. 27, No. 1: pp. 95-98

Abstract

Information-based epistemology maintains that ‘being informed’ is an independent cognitive state that cannot be reduced to knowledge or to belief, and the modal logic KTB has been proposed as a model. But what distinguishes the KTB analysis of ‘being informed’, the Brouwersche schema (B), is precisely its downfall, for no logic of information should include (B) and, more generally, no epistemic logic should include (B), either.
