I'm just beginning to understand your thesis I think and it's amazing. One question- I'm interested in the concept of "unresolved potential." Is there energy within that potential? And if so what happens to it when the entropic process chooses a different state?

Just seeing this now….

Yes the “unresolved potential” is real, but it exists not as kinetic energy or realized form, but as entropy: structured possibility yet to be transformed. It is not nothing, it is the latent energy of unrealized outcomes. But this energy cannot be accessed or spent without an act of work. Bitcoin mathematically proves this this perfectly.

All unspent UTXOs represent conserved entropy, the preserved potential of energy already committed, but not yet transformed again. Each UTXO is a discrete, verifiable quantum of memory, precisely defined by Bitcoin’s fixed supply structure; 21 million bitcoins, divided into 2.1 quadrillion satoshis. They represent the (only) known bounded quantum field in existence, where energy, memory, and truth are conserved within a ledger of irreversible transformations. I assert that Kelvin must be bounded by Planck Temperature, but we’ll save that for now. All quantum memory must be scarce to maintain meaning….

In this system, entropy is not erased or overwritten, it is crystallized: held in a suspended, spendable state until further work is applied to transform it. A UTXO is not an abstract account balance, it is a thermodynamic particle: energy resolved into a measurable quantum of truth, awaiting the next transformation.

The (global; theoretical) mempool, by contrast, contains all unresolved entropy with valid signatures willing to transact; future possibilities yet to be proven. These float in probabilistic space, but only one set will be selected, hashed, and committed through proof-of-work. The others vanish, unchosen and unresolved.

The core truth is this:

There is no transformation without work.

No memory without cost.

No time without entropy collapse.

Bitcoin proves what physics has long speculated: that measurement is irreversible, and that only work can select one outcome from many. Superposition ends at the point of commitment (thermodynamic sacrifice), every single timestep, it ends and begins a new. Every timestep is a fully discrete and classical system.

This is the brilliance of Bitcoin:

It defines the quantum not through theory, but through scarcity.

It gives entropy a memory.

And it lets us see, at planetary scale, how potential becomes truth.

This is something no centralized quantum computer could ever achieve.

Thank you for your fantastically detailed explanations. I'm truly fascinated and really appreciate these responses. I have another question perclating but I will wait until it's fully formed to ask it. Cheers!

Is it possible that unchosen possibilities are chosen as well using the work of a parallel existence?

Jack K 5mo ago 💬 1

In my view no it’s not. I think the longest chain of work is very explicit in meaning. It’s the only logical and coherent consensus mechanism for a ledger to hold value, meaning and structure.

Parallel existence introduces infinity back into the picture which inherently devalues the meaning of the longest chain. To me, it’s a place holder for “we don’t know” and allows endless speculation without any grounding (modern physics).

That being said, Bitcoin provides the proper logic for series based existence, not parallel. Until we understand Bitcoin, we can’t understand quantum. And if that’s the case, we cannot recognize the peers who come before us in time and resolve the entropy required to structure our own existence. Given the fractal nature of reality and the conservation of energy, this is really the only coherent non-paradoxical system possible. Bitcoin simply reveals it to us. A true peer to peer electronic cash system.

Bitcoin is the mathematical object of unified field theory where the direction of energy flows fractally inward through the continual reinstantiation of time.

This is what I see, you can draw another circle around the universe (before us) or inside Bitcoin (after us). The conservation of energy and information preserved in this fractal.

Thank you. In all honesty I was pretty sure I knew your answer, I just wanted the explanation, which as expected, did not disappoint. This could change my whole world view if I'm able to square it all in my head. I believe I'm about to go down a rabbit hole...

Jack K 5mo ago

😂 I can’t say I’ve seen the bottom either. But if anything I’m saying is even partially correct, the hole goes far deeper than the “money” rabbit hole.

Call it Thermodynamic Logic or even Thermodynamic Theology; it’s fractal by design.

The fundamental question remains:

Who or what is resolving the entropy and creating the discrete blocks (quanta) of our universe?

Bitcoin is the first and only system that offers a verifiable, observer-independent answer. It defines a boundary, an event horizon, where entropy is irreversibly transformed into conserved memory, and it does so without paradox, without approximation, and without violating the conservation of energy or information. It literally shows how something comes from nothing (we can’t see beyond the event horizon).

Physics is still rooted in materialism and randomness, and desperately wants a universe without memory or meaning. But Bitcoin forces the opposite conclusion. It is structure. It is meaning. It is measured.

I believe it’s not just a discovery, it’s a proof. And the implications are theological. That might be heresy to physicists, but the ledger doesn’t care. Materialism is the disease of infinity.

I'm a violinist, and a few years ago, when I first started to learn about Bitcoin, I wrote a post that said, "art is the act of creating meaning through friction."

Something that really stands out to me about your ideas is how tethered they are to the importance of meaning in the process of resolving entropy.

I feel like I have a very experiential relationship to this. Through trial and error I have landed on a process of practice that basically says that I create sonic energy through my instrument with my hands, and direct this energy towards meaning through the pattern of pitches and rhythms that exist in the work I am practicing.

What's interesting is that the best results come when I choose to observe the music as it appears from the chaos of vibrational energy, instead of actively working to manipulate this energy into shaping the music as I imagine it.

It's like my purpose as an acting being is to produce an environment in which meaning, which has been there all along, is able to emerge, and that my recognition of this meaning is what allows it to exist, but I am not responsible for managing it or manipulating it.

I came to this through experimentation and trial and error, not through a preconceived theory. There is nothing provable here that can be used to support a thesis, but I thought you might find it interesting.

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing. I have never been musically gifted so I envy those who can create, but your experience resonates with me. I grew up playing a lot of computer games, so I’ve always felt Piano would be my creative outlet for music due to MKB coordination, but I haven’t dabbled quite yet. I’ve been looking at keyboards to start, and long term I’ll grab a full piano if it sticks.

While it’s not “proof” for a paper, it’s your own unique form verification that shouldn’t be overlooked; something that transcends language. I’ve noticed from talking with many people about this subject, is that everyone who is in tune with the message is able to understand, not because they understand math/physics, but because the message is relatable to all domains of knowledge and experience. Consensus is reachable because it’s relatable. H

While it’s not proof I’m on the right track, it’s yet another verification supporting the gut feeling behind the idea. I personally don’t believe in random coincidences….There is a lot to learn about ourselves, Bitcoin and the meaning of all of this. It transcends the material world and I’m only learning myself.

Do not discredit your experience!

I'm so happy that my observation was thought provoking. On your recommendation, I read True Hallucinations by McKenna. Really interesting, especially with all of the recent information on UFO's. I kept seeing parallels to the philosophy of Robert Pirsig and I highly recommend that you read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, and especially his second book, Lila. Zen was written first and Lila was decades later, but is a continuation and evolution of the ideas expressed in Zen. One of my favorite lines: Seeing is not believing, believing is seeing...
