It appears most of this book is at the following:
https://web.stanford.edu/~montanar/RESEARCH/book.html
I'm curious about the idea that nontrivial codes (e.g. not
just repetition or random codes) would occur in nature.

Actually, there's a link between theoretical physics and error-
correcting codes.
In particular, it's explored in the book "Information, Physics, and
Computation" by M�zard and Montanari.

I haven't read it myself, though.
Gene.
p.s. A friend who is a theoretical physicist has once suggested me to
read that book and discuss it with him. Unfortunately, I wasn't quite up
to the challenge.

Some articles in the pop-science press appeared this week on the
topic; so I traced down a paper by the researchers.
Interestingly, I heard a similar idea floated in the 1990's,
but apparently nothing was published at the time.
