Objectivity, Information, and Maxwell`s Demon.
[Preprint]
Abstract
This paper examines some common measures of complexity, structure, and information, with an eye toward understanding the extent to which complexity or information-content may be regarded as objective properties of individual objects. A form of contextual objectivity is proposed which renders the measures objective, and which largely resolves the puzzle of Maxwell`s Demon.
