The reviewer's comments are intriguing, but not enough to make
me shell out 55 pounds, since I am not a physicist, and I've had
more than enough information about black holes and quantum weirdness
to retire.
So I googled "Fisher Information Theory" and "Fisher Entropy"
and there are only about thirty items for each query. They seem
to assume the reader has already understood Fisher before they
show how neatly Fisher's theory (a version of field theory that
relates to information entropy?) explains stuff, but since I haven't
found the tutorial introduction, I didn't find them compelling.
Do you know of a tutorial or introductory URL on Fisher's theories?
It would be nice to see how the observer is included in the model.
Thanks,
Rich
