+I make two basic assumptions. First, all information takes a physical form, and second, that
+everything that is real is dynamical or can be explained in dynamical terms. Something is dynamical
+only if it involves nothing but forces and flows. It follows that information must be explicable in
+terms of forces and flows. At first this is counterintuitive, since information is typically thought of as
+a cognitive, computational or logical notion. However it is possible to bring logic and causation
+together through a specific analysis if the logic of information flow and a reasonable definition of
+what it is to make a physical difference, given that information is well characterized as "a distinction
+that makes a difference" (MacKay 1969), or "a difference that makes a difference" (Bateson 1973:
+). Information theory, then, is fundamentally the rigorous study of distinctions and their relations,
+inasmuch as they make a difference. The physicalist assumption implies that these distinctions are
+physical, and the dynamical assumption implies that they make a difference to forces and/or flows.
+By bringing together causation (which makes a dynamical difference) with the logic of information
+flow, it becomes possible to see causation as a sort of computation.
