Using information theory the book defines quantitative measures for structure and textural information and relates them to thermodynamic negentropy. Other concepts like that of algorithmic information can be applied and used to define complexity and organization. Also defined are the physical value concepts, and how these relate to each other using ideas from ecology and economics; it thus formulates a physical theory which could serve as a basis for a dialogue between physicists, economists and ecologists.Contents: Information TheoryExergeticsGeometrical Information TheoryDiscrete Systems and ComputationStructure in Chemical SystemsQuantum SystemsEvolution and ValueReadership: Physicists, mathematicians, economists and ecologists.Key Features: The first ever collection of essays by former and current Singapore diplomats spanning the first 40 years of Singapore's independence.
