These contributions reflect and acknowledge the growing importance of common concepts behind seemingly different fields such as quantum mechanics, general relativity and statistical physics in a form accessible to nonspecialist researchers. Many of the presentations include original results, which are published here for the first time. UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/b13745 ER -
