Elementary Informational Structures of Particle Physics and their Relation to Quantum Mechanics and Space-Time
Walter Smilga
Bohr's dictum "Physical phenomena are observed relative to different experimental setups" is applied to a set of binary elements that represent the smallest units of information. A…

Relativity in binary systems as root of quantum mechanics and space-time
W. Smilga
Inspired by Bohr's dictum that "physical phenomena are observed relative to different experimental setups", this article investigates the notion of relativity in Bohr's sense, star…
