    Nice inspiring work, although literature analysis was not done.

    I’ve seen a DARPA funded working information-based energy storage device - pretty much Maxwell’s daemon that just remembers where things are, his memory is SdT = Q of energy he can recover.

    Lots of alignment problems outlined in the document are analyzed with greater depth elsewhere.

    Thermodynamic analysis of self-organization is also widely developed area. And don’t make me start on electrochemistry, it’s so attractive for its seemingly easy to understand nature similar to what IT people deal with, which couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s insane incomprehensible grotesque nightmare that would make Lovecraft crap his pants. Which is why it’s so cool.

    How much of material here is original and how much is plagiarism and/or independent discoveries of known stuff previously found by others? It would have been way way cooler if author bothered to add more references. Networking data has power, as is correctly stated below the article in this medium.

        Sadly, no. I saw it at a conference. They asked me how to increase working temperature, I gave them an idea and then left the country, as it was just before Trump the first, when they’d kick me out anyway.

        It was spintronic device mostly, storing spin-sorted electrons on different sides of the topology and geometry, not as impressive sounding as it actually was - a proper quantum demo of a thermodynamic principle.
