SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the theory of interaction proposed by Eugene Savov, which adheres to the principle of parsimony, known as Occam's razor. This theory posits that the universe consists of self-reproducing and self-similar interactions that effectively explain phenomena observed in classical and quantum physics. Participants debate the validity of parsimony in explaining the universe's complexity, referencing notable works such as James Gleick's "Chaos" and Stephen Wolfram's "A New Kind of Science."

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Occam's razor and its implications in scientific theory
  • Familiarity with classical and quantum physics concepts
  • Knowledge of self-reproducing systems in theoretical physics
  • Awareness of chaos theory and its significance in scientific discourse
NEXT STEPS
  • Research Eugene Savov's "Theory of Interaction" for a deeper understanding of his principles
  • Explore the implications of Occam's razor in modern scientific theories
  • Study James Gleick's "Chaos" to grasp the relationship between simplicity and complexity in nature
  • Investigate Stephen Wolfram's "A New Kind of Science" for insights into self-similarity in scientific models
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for physicists, philosophers of science, and anyone interested in the foundational principles governing the universe's complexity and simplicity.

Finally I found a theory that strictly follows and cites the principle of parsimony (Occam's razor) along its path. This is the theory of interaction /1,2/. It offers a universe made of self-reproducing and so self-similar interactions, which simply account for what we see and describe in laws of classical and quantum physics.

Can anyone argue against the principle of parsimony in a universe looking so diverse?

Anyway there are some indications that everything is based on simple rules /e.g., see also these books 3, 4/
