In Binary Pulse Theory: Data–Matter Equivalence
BPT builds on itIn standard physics
Erasing one bit costs at least k_B·T·ln 2 of energy.
In Binary Pulse Theory
Used as the price of a bit throughout: it sets data pressure, the number of bits a particle is worth, and the least energy a Null Well's escaping half carries.
The BPT terms behind it
Data–Matter Equivalence is the count of bits one atom of matter is worth at the temperature of its universe: a particle's rest energy divided by the Landauer cost of a bit, N⚛ = m_H · 𝒞→² / (k_B · T · ln 2).
Data Pressure is the pressure the density of data exerts in the substrate, counted as bits per volume, each bit at the Landauer energy; its gradient generates the directed force that guides flows and collapse.
Horizon Bit Energy is the least energy one escaping half carries away from a Null Well: the Landauer cost k_B·T·ln 2 at the well's Hawking temperature. A Null Well is what contemporary physics calls a black hole.
