Philosophy of Science Seminar: Dean Rickles (Sydney): The Metaphysical Implications of an Ontology of Information

This lecture will focus primarily on digital physics and the limits of knowledge. In particular, a recent approach by Stephen Wolfram will be discussed, in which the problem of including the modeller provides a strong basis for a denial of the possibility of theories of everything that amount to theories of totality.
