The need for a Constructive Theory of Information

The Constructive Theory of Information was developed to provide a rigorous framework for concepts like measurement and possibility that are not dependent on specific physical theories like quantum theory. It aims to establish the criteria for a theory of physics to support information, regardless of the specific laws of physics. By using Constructive Theory, researchers can determine the minimum requirements for a physical system to store and process information, enabling classical and quantum computation. It also serves as a criterion for determining the reasonableness of proposed theories, helping to identify whether a theory supports science and the growth of knowledge.
