#idea | #fuel #mechanical #computational I distinguish two types of fuel based on the activity they enable. Mechanical fuel, for any form of mobility and hardware activation and computational fuel, for any form of software activation. I'd like this dichotomy to applied across all systems. This way it would enable things like the classification of devices according to what they consume, or have a metric like fuel ratio, X:Y, for each X units of computational there is Y units of mechanical. This could be a useful metric when you have a whole network of deployable. #keyword | #ergod https://www.informationphilosopher.com/value/ergod/ #insight | #reverse #entropy Capturing entries for too long we accumulate a lot of entropy about the topic. To reduce it, we organize the aggregate of information in various manners to derive simple formulations. Once we have our distilled product we feel motivated, as if driven by reverse-entropy, to generate more chaos and cause more disorder by destroying established forms and use that freedom to discover new interesting configurations to capture.
