Folks --
Dear Gordana, Pedro, and colleagues,
That would be unfortunate because a reduction of the
information-theoretical approach to physics unnecessarily sacrifices
explanatory power. (As would by the way, a reduction to biology or
any other substantive theory.) At issue is --as you corre
Dear Friends,
I have been "in transit" between home in Switzerland and California where my
wife and I spend the winter and thus have just now looked at this "emerging
exchange". It obviously requires more study, but three things jump out at me:

Dear Loet,
I agree with you.
The goal is not to reduce everything to physics and to stay at elementary
particle level.
But the good thing is to be able to go down to elementary particle level with
the same principle.
How to build up understanding of the whole architecture of existing things,
