Description
Springer Asymmetry: The Foundation Of Information by Scott J. Muller
This book gathers concepts of information across diverse fields -physics, electrical engineering and computational science - surveying current theories, discussing underlying notions of symmetry, and showing how the capacity of a system to distinguish itself relates to information. The author develops a formal methodology using group theory, leading to the application of Burnside's Lemma to count distinguishable states. This provides a tool to quantify complexity and information capacity in any physical system._x000D_ _x000D_
