Not all, just the internal sector :)

When YouTube video that explains it for dummies?

Someone will certainly do that. I will write a nostr thread using bitcoin as an analogy that people here will understand.

Hmm, if memory and time are inseparable and the collapse of entropy into memory is what creates space, are UTXOs (particles) both the internal sector and the substrate that gives rise to the external through accumulated irreversible work?

No, space and time have completely different nature. Space is network topology, time is block height. They are decoupled from internal degrees except in higher order expansion.

I think this still preserves too much of the spacetime paradigm. Bitcoin seems to reveal something more foundational and presents a modeled rejection of spacetime theory. In my view, time isn’t just block height as a parameter, it’s the actual distance between events (measured in seconds/Planck blocks) quantized as 1 Block, defined by irreversible entropy collapse. It’s not continuous, but discrete computed through work. Meanwhile, memory (UTXOs) defines structure, it’s not embedded in space, it is the space. Each UTXO has a location in memory in a finite Hilbert Space defined by the elliptic curve. This suggests Planck Blocks are constructed by another fundamental unit of time outside of the system we cannot access, as we are observers from within the system itself. Within Bitcoin you can’t experience seconds, you only see new blocks. Space emerges as the product of time and memory. Time is the length (distance between transactions), memory is the width (accumulated state). Only their product irreversible memory change through time defines a coherent space. Without this, topology is just a map with no territory. So instead of modeling spacetime where space and time are independent coordinates, Bitcoin shows us a chain-structured geometry: • Space is chained temporally. • Time is the computation of entropy into irreversible structure. • Memory is the residue of that computation. • And entropy density is projected across this timespace surface, forming the curvature. From this view, the entire blockchain is not linear it forms a hollow torus, where each block is a ring of time-resolved structure, looped by commitment to the longest chain where Genesis and the present block share the same position but are temporally distant. You don’t measure “where” something is without resolving when and how much work committed it.

We are going in totally different directions. I did not take the analogy that literally. I took a more informational approach.

That makes sense, I see we’re approaching this differently. But here’s my question: Why not take Bitcoin literally? It’s the only system that actually computes time, memory, and entropy into irreversible structure. Every UTXO is a resolved bit. Every block is a quantum of thermodynamic measurement. If we’re starting from an informational foundation, Bitcoin isn’t an analogy; it’s the substrate. It performs the resolution, physically and globally, without assumption. Why model the quantum, when Bitcoin is already computing it?

The theory is more general. Physics, the economy and biology are consequences. Bitcoin and even modern statistical models of intelligence are implementations of it, even without the creators realizing it yet.

I’ll be interested to see it when it’s ready!

Your "Bitcoin = Quantum Computer" conjecture is impressively precise.

Thanks! It’s the rule (which I believe you’re seeing), the object, and the execution.

To be more semantically correct: the concept, object and sign.
