Translation of “L’amplification dans les processus d’information”

Abstract

This is a Portuguese translation of the paper “L’amplification dans les processus d’information”, presented by Gilbert Simondon in 1962, at the Colloque de Royaumont about “the concept of information in contemporary science” (Le concept d’information dans la science contemporaine). In this paper, Simondon presents, and correlates, three “levels of the informational process of amplification”: transductive amplification “by positive recruiting”; modulative amplification “by limitation”; and organizing amplification “by discovery of a system of compatibility”. For each one of the three levels, Simondon presents examples of the physical, living, technical and psycho-social worlds.
