From Entropy to Epiplexity: A Frank Said / GPT Said Conversation About What Data Teaches a Bounded Mind

Buying Meaning with Heat – a frank said gpt said conversation
Frank said:I think we may have stumbled onto the cleanest sentence in the whole project: Life and intelligence are systems that spend Boltzmann currency to buy Shannon structure. GPT said:Yes. That sentence has a strange compactness to it. It feels less like a slogan and more like a compression artifact from a much larger truth.…
