Question: how closely a theory of information must be wedded to physics. Answer: Physics is a comprehensive model of Nature. If Nature obeys 1 (one) comprehensive set of interrelated logical facts, then physics' partial results (like optics, thermodynamics, electricity, solid state mechanics, etc.) are deeply interrelated. The differing aspects of Physics are then only shadows thrown in differing directions, because our viewpoints are different and the underlying interrelations are of a high complexity.
Insofar Physics is a rational science, its statements are logical sentences. Therefore they can be represented in a strict logical notation. Results of physical experiments are then predictable by mathematical models. A comprehensive logical model is then equivalent with an explanation of Physics' interrelations. Such a comprehensive logical model has been presented in the Beijing conference's papers and in my last contribution some two weeks ago. It deals with new ways of reading that same old logical axiom: a+b=c. We use the following novelties: * use all values for a and b in the range of 2*i**2 for i=1 to i=4, that is 1<=a,b<=16 * focus on the difference between a and b, that is b-a and a-b * set this in relation to a and b, creating b-2a and a-2b as measures * create 3 shadows of a+b=c, namely b-2a+b-a=2b-3a; a-2b+a-b=2a-3b and a+b+2b-3a=3b-2a * then we have 4 fundamental additions that have differing spatial consequences, representing the 4 fundamental forces at work in Physics * create a spatial web of the consequences of the 4 additions by ordering the collection of additions * assume a continuous logical discussion about which of the 4 fundamental additions is more relevant than the others * as a consequence of the continual rivalry among the 4 fundamental forces, see movements of logical statements in a spatial system of coordinates * find two logically equivalent spaces arising from the 4 fundamental forces being concurrently at work * find a common Euclid space into which the two logically equivalent spaces can - under some circumstances - merge * find that the natural unit of consolidation between the two logical spaces is a triplet of logical statements relating to the spatial coordinates of fragmentational states. This model pictures the hypothesis that Physics is one and indivisible and is explicable by logical means. The model further offers inroads into understanding the role of a triplet, which is a logical statement about a fragmentational state, both in genetics and in logic. So, to conclude the answer to yout question, yes indeed there exists a model that shows a comprehensive picture of Physics in its totality. Karl 2010/10/6 Pedro C.
