It surveys current theories, discusses underlying notions of symmetry, and shows how the capacity of a system to distinguish itself relates to information. The author develops a formal methodology using group theory, leading to the application of Burnside's Lemma to count distinguishable states. This provides a tool to quantify complexity and information capacity in any physical system.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWritten in an informal style, the book is equally accessible to researchers in fields of physics, chemistry, biology, computational science as well as many others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Scott J.
