An essay in the conceptual foundations of physics. Its purpose is to introduce what is called a combinatorial approach.

From the Publisher

The authors aim to reinstate a spirit of philosophical enquiryin physics. They abandon the intuitive continuum concepts and build upconstructively a combinatorial mathematics of process. This radicalchange alone makes it possible to calculate the coupling constants ofthe fundamental fields which - via high energy scattering - are thebridge from the combinatorial world into dynamics. The untenabledistinction between what is 'observed', or measured, and what is not,upon which current quantum theory is based, is not needed. If we areto speak of mind, this has to be present - albeit in primitive form -at the most basic level, and not to be dragged in at one arbitrarypoint to avoid the difficulties about quantum observation. There is agrowing literature on information-theoretic models for physics, buthitherto the two disciplines have gone in parallel. In this book theyinteract vitally.
