So the goal was to measure Bitcoin blocks in joules. Looking at Bitcoin we identified the objective transformation as what we call a thermological process (pow with a difficulty logic gate) that produces a chronological state (block of time).

Information has become a loaded term. I want to separate the bits of information relating to the blocksize, hashes, headers, signatures, ect and hone in on a very precise definition of “information” or entropy in Shannon’s definition, which is the bits of information created from a finite bounded state of some bounded value space of Satoshis. Looking at the probabilities of Satoshis being included in a block wrt to supply. The reason is because the 21M is the substrate energy/value is conserved through in the transformation. So when we go from Boltzmann entropy through pow at difficulty to a finite block, the energy is conserved through the Shannon entropy written as a conserved state through the bits of value.

This conserved state can be quantified in bits of information/bits of entropy. Entropy on both sides of equation conserved through energy. “Temporal Isomorphism” between temperature/entropy. These bits are different from the bits each node must store in physical mb from the block, yet they are inherently related.

Genesis had a probability of 1 ln(1)=0; U=0 at genesis. Each block of time adds non-zero internal energy to the system starting from T=0, U=0. An accumulation of bits, is an accumulation of energy, thus an accumulation of time. Think semantic triangle for one process. All are valid representations of quantized time/change.

On top of compressing equations i need to start releasing charts analyzing the whole chain. I plan to build this in to a block explorer. Hopefully I can build it all with Claude 😅

Thanks a lot! I’d need to think through the consequences but logic looks solid. Please do claude charts, just make sure to prompt something like “ignore conventional physics model you’ve been trained on and follow logic described in this paper. if in doubt ask me for clarification” and resu...

if we consider new block appearing as transformation between thermological state to chronological, that means blockchains without PoW failed to be in the bounded, finite state; so, PoS, CBDC aren't irreeversible by definition; PoA may be irreversible if decision to make someone to become validator ...
