Publications ( Moshe Sipper ) -- Interesting papers on evolutionary computation and on computation in artificially evolved, non-uniform cellular automata.
Quantum algorithmic information theory -- An agenda of quantum algorithmic information theory, ordered `top-down'' by Karl Svozil : the quantum halting amplitude, followed by the quantum algorithmic information content, which in turn requires the theory of quantum computation.

The Quantum Theory of Ur-Objects as a Theory of Information -- Here the quantum theory of ur-objects proposed by C. F. von Weizsaecker is reviewed, and the philosophical consequences of its interpretation as an information theory are demonstrated by means of some important concepts of physics such as time, space, entropy, energy, and matter, which in ur theory appear to be directly connected with information as ''''the'''' fundamental substance.
