[1] (arXiv:2009.11709) that points out some weakness of the model of indeterministic physics that we proposed in Ref. [2] (Physical Review A, 100(6), p.062107), based on what we named \"finite information quantities\" (FIQs). While we acknowledge the merit of their criticism, we maintain that it applies only to a concrete example that we discussed in [2], whereas the main concept of FIQ remains valid and suitable for describing indeterministic physical models. We hint at a more sophisticated way to define FIQs which, taking inspiration from intuitionistic mathematics, would allow to overcome the criticisms in [1].", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-09-25T15:17:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "alternative interpretations", "classical physics", "determinism", "finite information quantities", "fiq remains valid" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
