Thermodynamic Constraints on Holographic Processing: The Universe as a Non-Superconducting Circuit in MetaTime v36.0

MetaTime v36.0 posits that physical evolution is not a cost-free state update, but an effectivecomputation constrained by a nonzero latency coefficient ΓL > 0 that manifests as “write friction”in high-complexity regions of state space. If this friction is genuinely irreversible, it implies entropyproduction bounded from below by Landauer’s principle. We formalize the resulting cosmologicalconstraint using holographic thermodynamics and information geometry: the 4D brane behaves asa non-superconducting information circuit in which a low-entropy early state supplies a large freeenergy potential, ΓL plays the role of an information resistance limiting irreversible update current,and the bulk provides a heat sink…
