A new article by Caticha:
I explore the possibility that the laws of physics might be laws of
inference rather than laws of nature. What sort of dynamics can one derive
from well-established rules of inference? Specifically, I ask: Given relevant
information codified in the initial and the final states, what trajectory is
the system expected to follow? The answer follows from a principle of
inference, the principle of maximum entropy, and not from a principle of
physics. The entropic dynamics derived this way exhibits some remarkable
formal similarities with other generally covariant theories such as general
relativity.
