What’s magical: it can observe, decide, and act with zero energy (or at least less energy than real-world thermodynamics requires).

- chriswarbo 5y ago> observe This isn't magical: it's just entanglement/causality. If "observing" required energy, then atoms would either blow apart (due to their electrons not "observing" their nuclei), or collapse (due to their electrons losing energy by "observing" their nuclei). > decide This isn't magical: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billiard-ball_computer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billiard-ball_computer > act This isn't magical: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_force https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_force
