Dr. Winthrop undertakes to identify the very source of physical law, with a view to explaining why there are 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 the fact and its representation one arrives a general law of physics, a Law of Laws, one that yields both known and new laws governing the behavior...
