I reviewed the vid again and the relative entropy issue of encoding seems de minimis for the premise. The bit is defined as a unit of Planck length which apparently assumes that some physical characteristic of space must be altered and the basic assumption is that there is symmetry in a writ

Off the topic a bit... fanciful... Regarding the "magnetocaloric effect" as bird-walk launch-point. Happy Friday! --- If an EM coupling with the Coulombic near-field were established at some conservant resonance, would the  resonant standing-wave-profile afford a thermal-gradient across the

I will check the references; but, my problem with the concept is in the definition of a bit of information. A bit could be constituted by either an endothermic or an exothermic action depending on the method of storage. Let us not be information racists. Zero is datum also. :) >

I would note that the magnetocaloric effect seems to embody the same effect. Where the order and disorder of the magnetic domains is changed by magnetization, that is erasing data right?! So it is I guess a pretty robust effect as it is used to cool things already. On Fri, 25 Sep 2020 at 13:54, J
