This is really nice:
"The implication is that physical law does not reflect the order in the universe, instead it is derived from the order imposed by our description of the universe."<p>btw to download this:

I'm surprised that something titled "Information Physics" was not submitted to quant-ph, which is where all of the quantum information papers go.<p>The arXiv is strongly based on the category a paper is placed in. (Tons of controversy when submissions are recategorized.)
A long time ago (1990) Tom Stonier wrote an expansive and thought-provoking book on Information Physics (<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Information-Internal-Structure-Universe-Exploration/dp/3540198784/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1303712208&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Information-Internal-Structure-Univers...</a>)<p>I'd never seen anything quite like it at the time. So while it's certainly a 'new approach' to science, it's not exactly 'new'. It's not fair to be dead and forgotten...
