I bet you’ve written about Entropy? That’s a similar concept where you need to use up energy to create order versus making a mess come’s easy.

Fighting fire with fire: Sorcerer is a great watch if you haven’t seen.

Yes to entropy, for sure: https://goatfury.substack.com/p/hot-movements

There are probably a few others that touch on the subject, but that was the quickest/laziest find at my end. If you're interested in nerding out more, I can dig more.

I also thought about entropy more broadly when writing about this!

The fascinating thing about Entropy is that it takes WORK to create order. And no work at all to create CHAOS. There is a story in there.

Oh yes. Have you been down the rabbit hole of: intelligence = energy yet?

This at least gets it on the table - it is a wild idea, but I can't stop thinking about it: https://goatfury.substack.com/p/maxwells-demon

If you can get to where information = energy, it gets really fun to think about what thoughts are.
