Comment on "Physics without determinism: Alternative interpretations of classical physics", Phys. Rev. A, 100:062107, Dec 2019

TL;DR

This paper critiques a previous work on classical physics by showing that their definition of finite information quantities (FIQ) is incomplete because it does not account for changes in measurement units affecting information content.

Contribution

It demonstrates that the existing definition of FIQ is not invariant under measurement unit changes, highlighting a flaw in the prior interpretation of classical physics.

Findings

Changing measurement units alters the information in FIQs

The original FIQ definition is not invariant under unit transformations

The paper identifies a gap in the previous theoretical framework

Abstract

The paper "Physics without determinism: Alternative interpretations of classical physics" [Phys. Rev. A, 100:062107, Dec 2019] defines finite information quantities (FIQ). A FIQ expresses the available information about the value of a physical quantity. We show that a change in the measurement unit does not preserve the information carried by a FIQ, and therefore that the definition provided in the paper is not complete.
