Combinatorial hierarchy is a mathematical structure of bit-strings generated by an algorithm based on discrimination (exclusive-or between bits). It was originally discovered by A.F. Parker-Rhodes in the 1960s, and is interesting because of physical interpretations that relate it to quantum theory.1 For example, values close to the fine structure constant and the proton-mass gravitational coupling constant appear in the generation of the Hierarchy.1 Combinatorial physics explores such relationships between the mathematical hierarchy and the physical world.
