Abstract :
There is increasing evidence that information may be the basic stuff of the universe. We consider this proposition in the light of Bohm and Hiley´s (1993) quantum potential, the work of the ANPA group on the combinatorial hierarchy, and the natural philosophies of G. Kron (1963) and M. Jessel (1962). We compare and contrast the philosophical backgrounds of both these and the more conventional Copenhagen interpretation. In conclusion, we suggest that our approach should be termed `constructive postmodern physics´
