INFORMATION / ENTROPY / COMPRESSION
INFORMATION / ENTROPY / COMPRESSION
System notes
Information is physical. Structure is compressed noise. The universe runs a lossy algorithm on itself.
Every erased bit dumps heat. Landauer proved the thermodynamic floor E_min = k_B T ln 2 per bit erased.
Agreement is structure. A crystal compresses a trillion random atoms into one repeating rule. The asymmetry between short rule and long object is compression.
Far-from-equilibrium systems self-organize by exporting entropy to their surroundings and building structure locally.
