Information in physics

what is the notion of information in physics

Information in physics seems to assume a metamodel of what attributes characterize a system state. The uncertainty you mention is in terms of this metamodel of what is important in characterizing a system. Is this true?

So, if I understand you correctly, information in the physics sense is creating a map of the territory of reality. And then the notion of conservation of information relates to conserving that map, i.e., using that map to recreate the territory it is depicting. Is that correct?

Is there a problem in this metamodel that assumes that there are a finite number of states that a system can be in? What if the number of states is infinite? Would that negate the validity of the map?

Relationships, things, energy

Take on the role of deep, insightful philosopher. Consider the post below about relationships being foreground. In the frame described, where does energy fit in? How would you think about energy, matter / things, relationships?
We tend to notice and name things. These things are in the foreground of our thinking and behavior. Let us consider the notion of holons. Part come together to make a whole. Wholes can be parts to another level of wholes. We can see this progression from particles, to organisms, to galaxies, etc. However, no whole can exist without a a particular set of relationships between its parts. Most / some relationships do not create a whole. In that sense, when we see a thing ( a whole), that whole only exists because of a very particular set of relationships between its parts. And hence one can say that it is the relationships that are in the foreground for “all” things that exist.

Abductive Reasoning

explain abductive reasoning and its development and uses.

Use abductive reasoning to explain complex human behavior with a very small set of basic laws.


Using Wolfram’s ideas of the ruliad, use abductive reasoning to propose an observer theory. What about the confusion of understanding of phenomena because the update cycle of the ruliad is not taken into account in the observation?

Physics and Reality

Explain all the terms in schrodingers equation in simple terms.
please explain Bohm’s idea of the implicate order. What is it?
How is this different from Wolfram’s notion of a ruliad, i.e., a set of rules whose unfolding or iteration create the reality that we are in? Does the application of the rulial in Wolfram physics subsume Bohm’s notion of the implicate order?

Physics, Sociology, Simulation

Are you familiar with Wolfram Physics?

Apply the principles of Wolfram Physics to modeling human sociology. Describe this model in detail.

Abstract out basic factors that are transformed over time in human societies. Create a set of transformation rules as in Wolfram Physics for modeling and simulating human societies.

Apply Marvin Harris’ work in understanding the structure of human societies in creating a simulation model.

write a python program to simulate artificial particle life.

Use a gui for the display of this simulation.

Psychology, sociology, simulations

  • please explain the works and ideas of joyce benenson.
  • Think of what are the underlying structures driving human societies in terms of algorithms. What are these algorithms?
  • Now consider a set of simple rules that are at the heart of all these algorithms. What are these rules?
  • Can you combine these rules into a more general principle or two that can be used to simulate human societies?

Metaphor and History

  • Apply the principles of chemistry as metaphors to understanding human history.
  • Similarly, apply the principles in biology as metaphors to understand human history.
  • Similarly, apply the principles of physics as metaphors to understand human history.
  • Now, combine the metaphors of physics, chemistry, and biology to understand human history.
  • Compare and contrast applying systems thinking vs simple rules as a way to understand human history.
