You should perhaps try to find a mathematician in your neighborhood for
helping you to formalize a bit your approach. I can give you book
advices on information theory if you are interested. Unfortunately the
relation between information theory and logic are not so easy. I know
that Abramski works on it, and Devlin wrote a book on information in
some logician sense (this is not yet standard), you could search
"Devlin" on Amazon for the reference.
In this setting quantum information theory is also hard to avoid. There
are many good books too.

Like I just said to Stathis, I have some difficulties. But this is
really because I want that roadmap post to be comprehensible by the
grandmother.

Thanks for being patient,

Bruno
