OverviewThis dissertation explores the idea that laws of nature are tools for gaining and employing information about the world. In my first chapter, I focus on the Best System Account of laws of nature, according to which the laws are those generalizations which form a deductive system best combining strength and simplicity. I claim that we must focus on the applicability of laws to the sorts of subsystems of the universe with which we interact and manipulate. This provides us with the tools to develop new notions of informativeness and simplicity, and sheds light on our preference for dynamic explanations.
