In a way, all of fundamental physics posits information theoretic entities.
"Particles" are nothing more than "what satisfies particle equations". Bruno complains
about Aristotle and "primitive matter", but I don't know any physicists who go around
saying,"I've discovered primitive matter."
That's is exactly why I have no complains on physicists. Most are neutral on this. Some
are christians.
I "complain" only about physicalist. And I don't complain, I just show them
epistemologically inconsistent if they assumes comp together with physicalism.
I certainly complain when they eliminate person and consciousness.
or "Let's work on finding primitive matter." They just want a theory that is a little
more comprehensive, a little more accurate, a little more predictive than the one they
have now. And they couldn't care less what stuff is needed in their theory - only that
it works.
That is your right, but that is not an argument to defend this or that theory when the
goal is the search of the truth.
I'm all for searching for what is true. I'm suspicious of searches for THE
truth.
