I am not sure what this brings to the table. I read the first paper about information theory from the constructor viewpoint and a constructor just seems to be some function. I am not sure if there is some deep takeaway. Physics people already care about what "transformations" occur on a system? Eg quantum computation is about unitary transformations?
I also feel its like a physicist is trying to recast stuff in a functional perspective without knowing it. For example saying a quantum field theory is a functor : Bord -> Vect, might be something a mathematician would say, but it seems not many physics people would be familiar with this idea.
I think its also interesting they have this flashy website which kind of reminds me of a scam.
