Nailed it. The use of the terms power projection or violence are missing the mark. They're too anthropocentric. Organisms do not engage in these activities, we've just ascribed this to what we've observe.
If you want to describe bitcoin as a fundamental process, you need to go more general. Metabolism/energy usage is a good direction.
Wouldn't metabolism be projecting power onto the resources in your body in order to destroy them and release that energy for consumption by other resources in your body?
conversion of energy is a more accurate means of describing. using one form of stored energy to produce other forms of energy in the form of ATP etc...
just like a miner -- using electricity to convert lots of transactions into a hashed block.
no power projection just usage of energy to make one thing into another substance
conversion or projection. Can mean the same thing, energy is being moved from one medium to another.
In the body, food become fuel for cells.
In a gun, gun powder becomes kinetic energy focused in a single point.
both are moving energy from one medium to the next at a fundamental level.
no. word twisting is not word equivalence
the sight of a gun and its usage projects (creates the appearance) power
gun powder does not project power it just creates an explosion.
a miner does not project power it uses power
projection of power β usage of power
The power has to start from somewhere. You have to project power to use it. The Sun projects power. Plants absorb that power. Animals eat those plants. Humans eat those animals. Human's then use (project) that power towards a goal.
no you are talking about transmission or transformation .
transmission β projection
transformation β projection
words matter a lot otherwise you can convince yourself that something illogical actually makes sense
