Constructing a theory using more than one law of translatation from beginning to end is counter productive. Fi one law of translation translate the literal history and the next level of translation is moral, and the ideal level of translation reveals God. Any information given statement must adhere to one or the other. Translation laws of prophesy have the same rules of interpretation just like personal references would too (fruit of a tree)


Information has the property that a given statement might have said something else, and one of these alternatives would not be true. The untrue alternative is said to be "counterfactual". Conventional physical theories do not model such counterfactuals. However, the link between information and such physical ideas as the entropy in a thermodynamic system is so strong that they are sometimes identified. For example, the area of a black hole's event horizon is a measure both of the hole's entropy and of the information it contains. Constructor theory is an attempt to bridge this gap, providing a physical model which can express counterfactuals, thus allowing the laws of information and computation to be viewed as laws of physics.[3][4]

Is this a "yes" answer to my question? I ask because I don't understand your post.

Reads more like a computer modelling/programming approach than a Physical foundational concept, to me(?)

Is the link your first read about it? You could be right, as I do believe the proponents come from the field of quantum computing. But let's not be too quick to dismiss the possibilities of cross-pollination.

I tried to read some of the technical literature because this is the type of thing that interests me, but it started to sound like jargony hand-waving, so I was wondering if these guys have made any real waves.

I think I may have stumbled across it in a tangential way a loonng time ago but I don't profess to know, or have subsequently seen anywhere where its made any kind of significant impact that I'm familiar with .. (not that that comment counts for anything much).

Can't help out much there, unfortunately ..

Anyone here familiar with constructor theory?
I've heard about it, but I'm not familiar. AIUI, it's to do with explaining the world in terms of the transitions within and between systems - which transitions are possible and which are not. But I don't know any details or how it is used.

I'll put that one on the shelf and wait a while. The seminal literature has some intriguing phrases, but I could never get beyond them to grasping the kernel of what they're after ... or seeing a practical application.

With these types of "on the fringe" ideas, I sometimes get this creeping feeling that if I were to pursue a discussion with the main proponent, I'd end up in a sunflower field in Colorado talking to some guy and his partner Moonbeam whilst funny smells started to make my head feel strange.

Yet, it still intrigues me for some reason.

So it's nothing to do with Lego then?
