Informational Interpretation of quantum mechanics?

Mgt3 · Jan 30, 2022

I heard something today about the "informational interpretation" of quantum mechanics and a phrase used was "it from bit." Is there actually such a thing? What does it mean, and how is it distinguished from other interpretations like MWI or Copenhagen?

Here on PF that has as much value as a citation as does "some guy on a bus told me that ... "

In other words, we like specific citations.

Agreed, this is a poor thread start. @Mgt3 please start a new thread in the Interpretations forum and include links to your reading. This attempted thread start is locked.
