Data Inertia
Definition
Data Inertia is the resistance to stopping that accumulated returning data gives the primordial pulse: the continuation quality built up by recorded states, which makes pulse cessation impossible.
The book produces it through perpetual momentum, the third mechanism of the Perpetual Data Continuation Law: the compounded weight of data returned from every universe branch through black holes generates Data Inertia, which sustains the primordial pulse. It is part of the book's account of Data Gravity, in which the interplay of density, pressure and inertia in the substrate both keeps recursion going and, past a threshold, drives collapse into a Null Well. In the working of the Data Gravity Collapse Threshold the book lists data inertia as I⊱, the accumulated continuation quality, a dimensionless quantity [∅] that a scaling constant converts into data pressure.
It connects to Perpetual Momentum, Perpetual Data Continuation Law, Recursive Data Momentum, Data Gravity Collapse Threshold, Data Computational Inertia and Computational Inertia.
