I think his argument, is that I have no right to talk about bits [edit: in the context of stat mech], before defining physical representation of these bits - that is a physical system, states and transitions between states.
- jpdoctor 14y ago> is that I have no right to talk about bits, before defining physical representation of these bits I'm saying something slightly different: You can talk about bits in a system without a physical representation; That system can have an information-entropy associated with it. Once you implement a physical system representing those bits, then Landauer's comment applies.
