时空信息的基本内涵与赋能机理

The basic connotation and empowerment mechanism of spatio-temporal information

时空信息赋能是充分释放和放大时空信息作为生产要素的价值,助力经济社会各领域的高质量发展的时代需求。当前时空信息赋能的基础研究还相对薄弱,应用即赋能的观点占主导地位,缺乏对时空信息赋能机理的深层次认知和探究,导致时空信息的内涵与外延不清,时空信息赋能的内在机理不明,制约着其科学高效赋能,亟需厘清其基本内涵、赋能机理与赋能模式等。本文针对时空信息赋能问题,梳理了时空信息的基本概念、丰富内涵和基本特征;指出熵是时空信息赋能的物理基础,熵减是时空信息赋能的内生动力;时空信息赋能的本质是以时空信息为载体,以负熵流转为动能,以不确定性转化为特征,通过人、机、物(环境)相互影响、相互作用,实现系统结构优化、效能提升的过程;并提出了时空信息作为自在信息直接赋能、作为自为信息间接赋能、转为时空知识倍增赋能3种模式;最后,探讨了时空信息赋能自然资源高质量发展的路径。

The empowerment of spatio-temporal information fully releases and amplifies its value as a critical factor of production,meeting the need of the era to support the high-quality development across diverse economic and social sections.Currently,foundational research into the empowerment of spatio-temporal information remains undeveloped,predominantly constrained by the perception that empowerment is synonymous with application.The lack of comprehensive understanding and investigation into its mechanism results in ambiguity in both the connotation and extension of spatio-temporal information,as well as the intrinsic mechanism of its empowerment.Such vagueness restricts the empowerment in a scientific and efficient manner.There is an immediate necessity to delineate its fundamental essence,mechanisms of empowerment,and operational modes clearly.To address the aforementioned challenges,this paper defines the foundational concept,explores the rich connotation,and outlines the essential characteristics of spatio-temporal information.It posits that entropy serves as the physical foundation for the empowerment of spatio-temporal information,with entropy decrease acting as its inherent driving force.The empowerment of spatio-temporal information utilizes spatio-temporal information as the medium,driven by the negative entropy flow,marked by the transformation of inherent uncertainty.This process enhances both the system's structure and performance through the dynamic interplay among humans,machines and the external environment.This paper describes three empowerment modes of spatiotemporal information:taking spatio-temporal information as the in-itself information for direct empowerment,employing it as the being-itself information for indirect empowerment,and converting it into spatio-temporal knowledge for enhanced empowerment.Lastly,this paper investigates the pathways through which the empowerment of spatio-temporal information contributes to the high-quality development of natural resources.
