Analysis Of The Problem Of Prediction In Physics From A Computational And Foundational Approach, Juan Ferret Jan 2009

Analysis Of The Problem Of Prediction In Physics From A Computational And Foundational Approach, Juan Ferret

Juan Ferret

In this paper, we analyze the problem of prediction in physics from a computational and foundational viewpoint. Besides showing that assumptions like Laplace determinism, statistical determinism, etc., can be naturally explained by this computational analysis, we use the concepts of Kolmogorov complexity and algorithmic randomness from Algorithmic Information Theory, as well as the novel more physics-oriented variants of these notions, to show that the dynamical evolution of a system can be practically predicted with the dynamical laws, the initial, and final conditions of the system.

Anticipatory Systems In Physics, Juan Ferret Jan 2009

Anticipatory Systems In Physics, Juan Ferret

Juan Ferret

The aim of this paper is to clarify the role of anticipation of systems in physics. Previous work on the subject (DuBois, 2000) selected certain types of systems as anticipatory, but the argument here establishes that all dynamical systems in physics are necessarily anticipatory.
