The project will provide answers to questions of fundamental significance to all Australians. By developing a new philosophical theory of factual information, it will yield new insights into one of the basic things that makes us human. By applying the new theory to central contemporary problems in philosophy and physics, it will provide a new understanding of the role and significance of causal reasoning, and of the nature of the quantum world. The project will add greatly to the growth of Australia's research capital, attracting some of the world's best young researchers and students to work and study in this country, and adding further to Australia's international prominence, in a field in which we are already very strong.

该项目将回答对所有澳大利亚人具有根本意义的问题。通过发展一种新的关于事实信息的哲学理论，它将对使我们成为人类的基本事物之一产生新的见解。通过将新理论应用于当代哲学和物理学的核心问题，它将为因果推理的作用和意义以及量子世界的本质提供新的理解。该项目将大大增加澳大利亚研究资本的增长，吸引一些世界上最优秀的年轻研究人员和学生在这个国家工作和学习，并进一步提高澳大利亚在国际上的地位，我们在这个领域已经非常强大。
