Evaporation Bit Count
Definition
The Evaporation Bit Count is the most bits a Null Well can return by its glow over its whole life: its horizon count, A/(4ℓ_P² ln 2), the same number as the storage bound of Part 2.7. A Null Well is what contemporary physics calls a black hole. Every bit a well can hold is a bit it can return; the glow is thermal, so its quanta each carry more than the minimum and are fewer than the bits (Part 3.17).
Mathematical Expression
From the book · Chapter 3 · Two Horizons: How the Halves of a Pulse Go Home
N⇡ ≤ 4 · π · G · M² / (ħ · c · ln 2) = A / (4 · ℓ_P² · ln 2)
A well that evaporates returns at most its horizon count of bits, and all of it at the Landauer minimum
Where:
- N⇡ [∅] — the bits a well returns by its glow over its whole life
- M [𝕄] — the well's mass
- A [𝕃²] — the area of its horizon, 16·π·G²·M²/c⁴
- ℓ_P [𝕃] — the Planck length
