Episode notes

I'm also developing a quantitative generalization of all these concepts that are present in quantum information theory using this more general framework. This is something I'm currently doing in collaboration with this mathematician and this is likely to provide a structure for possible candidates, he says. So that's I think the end point, sorry, this one end point of applicability of these information theoretical constructive theory. He adds: "It's not something that will happen tomorrow"

I interview Oxford physicist Chiara Marletto, who has been working on constructor theory for several years. She's published papers on its applications to various fields, including those of information, thermodynamics, life, and probability. We discuss the origins and motivations of constructor theory, problems the theory may solve, current research programs, the universal constructor, response to potential criticisms, why constructor theory can explain more of Reality than the prevailing conception, and more.
