Episode notes
Constructor Theory of Information
- Constructor theory applies to information in a dynamics-independent way.
- This allows for broader application beyond specific theories like quantum mechanics.
Dynamics Independence in Information Theory
- Constructor theory aims to express information laws independently of specific dynamics.
- It focuses on what's possible/impossible, not specific dynamic laws.
Hidden Symmetry in Quantum Theory
- Constructor theory extracts the essence of quantum information.
- This reveals underlying properties, enabling new theories beyond quantum mechanics.
