Abstract
Before information theory can be applied, we must postulate a particular model of the universe based on probability theory. We journey through the assumptions, advantages and disadvantages of the view. There are three kinds of symmetry or similarity in such a universe: symmetries between probabilities reveal ignorance, symmetries between events reveal indifference, and symmetries between properties reveal information.
