Hello everyone, this is my first post on here.
Many discussions seem to circle around string theory (or not), and the not seems to often be LQG and similar approaches.
But there are also other (more or less similar to the above) approaches. For example those that are based on the principles of optimal inference, various generalised "maximum entropy principles". From the searches I've done it seems the amount of reasearch in this direction is small compared to other directions. Why?
I simply wonder if anyone on here is into this, and knows of any papers or websites that sort of sums up the current state of research in this direction?
This is a hobby for me and I have taken a 10 year break from physics contemplation and are now resuming the problems.
I've seen some of Ariel Caticha's papers and various scattered papers relating to the concepts. Enough to see that there are a few people onto this path, but from what I've found it seems not much progress has been made?? Or has it?
There are plenty of fundamental issues that I expect this track to be able to shed light on.
Deriving the laws of physics as the dynamics of information updates. For example general relativity like Ariel Caticha seemed to be after. For example, did anyone complete that aim so far?
