“…For instance, although QIT and quantum computing more generally provide some insight into symmetry breaking for information unitisation, they still have little to say about the thorny subject of meaning. In contrast, the crossover between formal semantics, graph theory and quantum mechanics has been studied in detail (World Wide Web Consortium, 2013) (van Rijsbergen, 2004) (Widdows, 2004) (Masterman, 2005) (Charniak & Wilks, 1976) (Zipf, 1959) (van Rijsbergen, 1995, seeing many practical advances in areas like Information Retrieval (IR) (van Rijsbergen, 2004) (Sihare & Nath, 2016) (Landauer, Flotz, & Laham, 1998) (Luhn, 1959) (Sparck Jones & Willett, 1997) (Maron & Kuhns, 1960) (Luhn, 1958) (Sparck Jones & Kay, 1973 (Masterman, 2005). For that reason, this work is sometimes loosely labelled as IR for convenience, but it extends into related fields like Knowledge Representation (KR).…”
