There seems to be a pervasive role of `information’ in probability, entropy and hence in physics. But the precise nature of this role escapes me, I’m afraid. I may have said before somewhere in this thread that I do not … Continue reading →

Foundations of probability, digital physics and Laplacian determinism

Posted on January 9, 2014 by franka waaldijk

In this thread of posts from 2012, the possibility of drawing a natural number at random was discussed. In the previous post I rediscussed an entropy-related solution giving relative chances. This solution also explains Benford’s law. In the 2012 thread, … Continue reading →
