Kendall's Shape Statistics as a Classical Realization of Barbour-type Timeless Records Theory approach to Quantum Gravity

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

I previously showed that Kendall's work on shape geometry is in fact also the geometrical description of Barbour's relational mechanics' reduced configuration spaces (alias shape spaces). I now describe the extent to which Kendall's subsequent statistical application to e.g. the `standing stones problem' realizes further ideas along the lines of Barbour-type timeless records theories, albeit just at the classical level.
