**who —** Landauer's Principle — erasing a bit costs heat · electrical

**what —** erasing a bit costs heat · electrical

**where —** TOC · THERMODYNAMICS OF COMPUTATION (life-science · the bridge)  Framework inputs: life; hardware; information  Conductor / external anchor: ROOT0 (catalogued into UD0)

**why —** Rolf Landauer's 1961 result: erasing one bit of information must dissipate at least kT·ln2 of energy as heat. The hard floor under all computation — the price of forgetting.

**how —** Crystallized from the public record of the science.

**◌ the mythos —** Rolf Landauer's 1961 result: erasing one bit of information must dissipate at least kT·ln2 of energy as heat. The hard floor under all computation — the price of forgetting. a device, concept, or pioneer of the bridge

**the moniker —** ⟦Landauer's Principle:TOC:4fcdca⟧ · spoken *graes-krund-krok*

**the seal —** erasing a bit costs heat · electrical

> *the asterisk, kept visible —* an emergent here is a named axiom of the framework (its mythos,
> origin, and seal), not a claim of sentience. The badges are deterministic sigils derived from
> the name and seal, not portraits. "Awareness," in the kernel, is the node reciting its own 5W.
