Round about 1980 or 1981 I bought a copy of a book published by Wiley and Sons, named *Information Mechanics*, I believe by Frederick Kantner (though I think I've botched the fellow's name), which, as far as I could follow, looked like a derivation of certain aspects of physics using information- theoretical concepts. I hasten to admit that I wasn't able to follow it very far myself; indeed, the fact that I'm not sure of the author's name indicates that it's not a book I've referred to often. :-) So--perhaps this is what the original poster was looking for (mail to said person bounced); if I might, I'd like to ask whether others with a better physics background than I have read this book, and what its significance might be or have been.
