Oh, my bad. I'm certainly aware of the usefulness of the conservation of energy when you need to relate the initial and final states of a physical system solely under the action of conservative forces. But I thought you were talking about using the conservation of energy as an analogy for a strategy for tackling programming problems.
- Retra 10y agoEnergy is a linguistic construct for solving problems in abstract models of reality. That's not too different from how programming works, it's just a different set of models. Thus energy is just a special case of a more general problem solving technique which can be employed in other domains.
