Isn’t this just begging the question, though, by picking up an implicit type signature via the method by which probabilities are assigned? Like, if we lived in a different universe that followed different physics and had different math I’m not convinced it would all work out the same.
If the physics were different, information theory would definitely still be the same—it’s math, not physics. As for “different math”, I’m not even sure what that would mean or if the concept is coherent at all.
