Information Flow

The Logic of Distributed Systems

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a mathematically rigorous, philosophically sound foundation for a science of information based on the observation that information flow is possible only within a connected distributed system. The theory has a wide range of applications, from file transfer, to DNA, to quantum mechanics and to speech act theory.
