Exceeding the Bekenstein bound would mean having less-than-equilibrium free energy. See https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.07184 https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.07184

- guerrilla 3y agoHmm so that would be a system being out of equilibrium but in a "negative" direction, which is nonsense since any amount of non-equilibrium is a positive amount of free energy. So, I don't understand any of the math in that paper but is there any easy/intuitive way to explain why a higher information density would require negative free energy? I guess I need to understand the relationship between information density and free energy first. Hmm.

Not really, no. If you don't have the equivalent of a good undergraduate education in physics very little about QFT is going to be accessible to you.
