Towards a Statistical Geometrodynamics

Abstract
Can the spatial distance between two identical particles be explained in terms of the extent that one can be distinguished from the other? Is the geometry of space a macroscopic manifestation of an underlying microscopic statistical structure? Is geometrodynamics derivable from general principles of inductive inference? Tentative answers are suggested by a model of geometrodynamics based on the statistical concepts of entropy, information geometry, and entropic dynamics.
