Can Informational Realism Help Sort Out the Mind–Body Problem?
If information is “the relational glue that holds reality together,” the mind–body problem can be reframed in a more satisfactory way.

Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the first full formulation of quantum mechanics, in Nature. Half celebrating its successes, half explaining that there’s still plenty of work to be done. #Physics ⚛️
