What is this vast world we inhabit, and how are we to understand its law-like behavior?
In this ground-breaking work Dr. Winthrop seeks to identify the very source of physical law, with a view to explaining why there any laws at all and why they have the forms they do.
The main idea is to treat the representation of a fact of the external world as a received message. By assuming exact correspondence between fact and representation, one arrives at a general law of physics—a Law of Laws—one that yields both known and new laws governing the behavior of the quantum micro-world and the universe at large.
An antidote to the stale materialism of contemporary physical thought, The Principle of True Representation erases the boundaries between physics, metaphysics and neuroscience, charting a new direction in the pursuit of physical knowledge—a new way of doing physics and, beyond that, a new way of seeing and thinking about the natural world.
As such, the wide-ranging chapters of this volume should attract the attention of a broad spectrum of workers seeking to view fundamental problems in a new light.
