Mosaic is originally used in architecture. As the digital publishing age comes, a number of specialists emphasize that knowledge should be broken into fragments for convenient usage. However, to break up knowledge is mere a process, not a purpose. Some measure must be taken to piece all of the fragments up for individualized construction of one's own knowledge system. This paper introduces the concept of mosaic into communication study and brings forward some principles of mosaicking one's fragment information into a whole knowledge system

In this paper, we advance and explain a proposition, "society thinks, therefore society is", and believe that the proposition is the logically starting point of the social epistemology and social information science. There is a Hierarchical structure in the world of life. Observing at human individual level: individual thinks with his brain but each of his cells can not think, even a nerve cell; though society consists of individuals, but it can not think because it has not a brain like individual's one. However, from the viewpoint of theoretical informatics, society, person, cell, DNA, and bio-molecule have a common feature, i.e., "input - processing - output" (IPO) of information, then they are all able to think though among them there some difference, i.e., the distinction of the structure and content of their thought. If the Descartes "I think, therefore I am" is the first assumption of individual epistemology in the industrial era, then in the information age, the first assumption of social epistemology and social information science should be "society thinks, therefore society is".

The quantitative measurements of the essential properties and information communication abilities of physical media and media networks are proposed in this paper. Such as the number of sub-networks, the number of lecturing sessions, the number of accepted copies, information power factor and interaction ability et al. The measurement results for media networks of broadcasting, Client/Server, phone-like, single-producer peer-to-peer and multi-producer peer-to-peer types are derived respectively. They are the scientific foundation for understanding, analysis, comparison, monitoring, management, evaluation and utilization of media networks.

This article discusses three issues related to information carrier. (1) "Bare information" does not exist, which has nothing to do with the carriers; the evolution of information is inseparable from the evolution of information carrier. The evolution of this symbol code developed from non-coded information to coded information and from the material code to the natural language is the result of natural self-organization. (2) The emergence of words means starting other-organization evolution of information carrier, and the new information carrier can only be a human conscious creation. The main direction throughout the evolutionary history of information carrier is: the more the operation of information depends on material energy reduce, the more the efficiency of information operation improves. (3) The information carrier has different levels, caused by different strength of material carriers. The division of carrier level also means the division of information level, that is, the difference of information levels can be attributed to differences between the carrier levels. The carrier with strong materiality can load the carrier with weak materiality, not vice versa.

Briefly introduced the status and related theories foundation of Theoretical Informatics (TI) and Systems Biology (SB). These two disciplines were compared and analyzed, mainly from the background, epistemological approach, informational energy of open systems, which these three aspects can demonstrate the two disciplines be of connected or similar attributes or characteristics, to indirectly discourse the necessity, the rationality, the feasibility and the vital significance of the establishment and researches for TI. Explore how to draw, reference SB model of development to promote the prosperity and great development of TI

The essence of communication is to exchange and share information. Computers provide a new medium to human communication. The CMC system composed of human and computers absorbs and extends the advantages of all former formats of communication, embracing the instant interaction of oral communication, the abstract logics of printing dissemination, and the vivid images of movie and television. It establishes a series of new communication formats, such as Hyper Text, Multimedia etc. which are the information organizing methods, and cross-space message delivering patterns. Benefiting from the continuous development of technique and mechanism, the computer-mediated communication makes the dream of transmitting information cross space and time come true, which will definitely have a great impact on our social lives.

Earman et al raise several objections to the Ceteris Paribus laws. In this paper, I argued that CP clauses could be ineliminable even with scientific terminology, and that it is also possible to test the contraposition of a CP law, therefore the law itself. Earman's account of differential equations may violate his MRL view of laws of nature. Again, Earman's view of laws of nature may be inconsistent with his supervenience thesis.

There are four ways of thinking: reductionism, projectivism, disjunctivism, integrativism. The gap between the "hard" science perspective and the "soft" science perspective on information reflect these ways of thinking. The paper discusses how this gap might be bridged by applying the fourth way of thinking.

The figure-ground division plays a fundamental role in all image perceptions. Although there are a lot of studies about extraction of a figure such as detection of edges or grouping of texture, a few discussions about a relationship between obtained figure and ground. We focused on double image illusions having two complementary relationships between figure and ground and analyzed them. We divided the double image illusions according to two different interpretations and using these divisions we extracted and analyzed its logical structures by lattices derived from rough sets that we had developed. As a result we discovered unusual logical structures in double image illusions.

The article attempts to elaborate the principles of translation criticism by exploiting the definitions, characteristics and rules in Information Science. It is shown that in translation criticism, the influence of the intentionality, consciousness and the non-neutrality of value of the target text as information on translation strategies should be taken into full considerations which bring the traditional faithfulness criterion into a more tolerant and more multiple dimensions.
