One of the reasons it is taking a long time is that I'd like to get some input from economists -- a process that has been slow. I've also been trying to firmly grasp matching theory in economics so I can better understand the connection.<br /><br />Thank you for your note,<br /><br />JasonJason Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12680061127040420047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837159629100463303.post-22394787950373008452014-05-12T07:47:43.922-07:002014-05-12T07:47:43.922-07:00Dear Jason,
We would like to answer your question:...Dear Jason,<br />We would like to answer your question: We saw indeed your (anonymous) blog before submitting our arXiv paper (version v3). However, in our community (physics and chemistry of materials) it would be quite unusual to quote an anonymous blog. Furthermore, our motivation, at that time, was simply to further expand the abstract term “non-physical systems/processes”. Knowing your blog we took biological and economical processes as examples, but we could have also chosen, e.g., sociological processes.<br />We appreciate very much that you applied the information transfer concept to your own problems and that you referred properly to our arXiv paper. Since a year we follow your interesting blog, and if we had to prepare the above mentioned arXiv paper NOW, and if we had your real contact data (email, affiliation) we would seriously consider to refer to a (your) blog.<br />Like another anonymous commenter (see “Blowing the anti-neo-Fisherite model out of the water”) we strongly encourage you to publish some of your results in a paper on the arXiv. (If you have not enough time start with a short paper and expand/improve the discussion in the next update of this paper. This is a really practical feature of the arXiv.) In that paper you could then refer to your own blog, and other authors could easily refer to your paper/work in the usual/familiar way.<br />With best regards<br />Peter and Guenter<br />Peter and Guenternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6837159629100463303.post-81391828965919034372014-05-04T23:37:42.905-07:002014-05-04T23:37:42.905-07:00Test comment?Test comment?Jason Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12680061127040420047noreply@blogger.com
