 François Recanati (2012, 2016), has proposed a detailed version of informational semantics, his mental files theory, within which information channels play a central role. Recanati’s mental files are cognitive counterparts to singular terms, and as such are referring concepts. Recanati’s view looks very similar to Evan’s information based particular thoughts at first glance. However, on Recanati’s view, metal files contain information in the form of MOPs of an object—be they given directly and experientially, or indirectly via descriptions—their reference is not fixed by the information that they contain/their modes of presentation. Rather, the reference of a metal file is fixed by the relations on which this file is based, and the referent of a mental file will be the entity or object with which we are acquainted correctly in virtue of such relations obtaining. So Recanati is allowing that MOPs contain information themselves, rather than restrict the role of information to the reference fixing relation itself (as do Evans and Fodor). The feature that identifies these relations is that they are epistemically rewarding (ER) relations. For Recanati, a relation is an ER relation in virtue of the fact that it is the sort of relation that makes the flow of information possible. In other words, ER relations are information channels.
