Russell, Bruno, and John: you guys seem to know something about energy. I asked lots of physicists and philosophers what that 'animal' may be and the smartest respond was: "capability (sic!) to do work", inviting my follow-up: what 'capability'? how does it appear, disappear and work? and I asked NOT for 'kinds of', measurements/units, calculations: I asked for a distinction (ID?) what such 'capbility consists of. Where (how) it comes from/goes to?
In your discussion some sort of 'equivalence' can be felt between energy and information - also raising questions (unless one accepts "the bit", the classic unidentified/able hint to some content) - in my preferred usage rather 'relation' - transgressed from the "world" of totality (= infinite complexity) into our (humanly ever knowable) model of topical/processing the partial knowledge-base from the wholeness-based relations beyond the cognizance by our capabilities.
