ABSTRACT The technical object is said to carry a pure information. This idea is as bold as it is perplexing, seeing that it does not refer straightforwardly to a technical concept, such as negentropy, nor to any semantic sense related to communication. This purity of information can indeed be understood in light of something human, whose trace we find in the technical object, but Simondon once more confounds expectations. Untying the idea of human nature from anthropological, social or even psychological terms, he refers instead to what, in each of us, remains tributary to the metaphysical notion of the unlimited and indefinite (ἄπειρον; ápeiron). We are thus in the presence of an aporia, a puzzlement. To grasp the idea of pure information and to understand it in light of in the human ‘ápeiron' requires that we think through the apparently paradoxical notion of an imprint of infinity on the technical object. To help us in this endeavour is Simondon’s conception of a power of initiative that marks both human collectivity and the technical object with an axiomatic audacity.

纯信息：关于技术对象中的无限性和人性

摘要 技术对象被认为承载着纯粹的信息。这个想法既大胆又令人困惑，因为它不直接指代一个技术概念，例如负熵，也不指任何与通信相关的语义。这种信息的纯度确实可以根据人类的某种东西来理解，我们在技术对象中找到了它的踪迹，但西蒙东再次混淆了预期。他将人性的概念从人类学、社会甚至心理学术语中解脱出来，而是指在我们每个人身上，仍然是无限和不确定的形而上学概念的支流（ἄπειρον; ápeiron）。因此，我们面临着一个难题，一个困惑。掌握纯信息的概念并根据人类“ápeiron”来理解它 要求我们仔细思考技术对象上的无限印记这一看似矛盾的概念。为了帮助我们完成这项工作，西蒙东提出了一种主动性的概念，它以一种公理化的大胆来标记人类集体和技术对象。
