Interesting work being done at SFI on how processes progress through time: https://medium.com/predict/physicists-discover-time-can-move-in-discrete-chunks-ec5e826a7395
The paper is here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-09542-x A quote from the medium.com article: The authors stumbled on the necessity of hidden states and hidden timesteps while searching for the most energy-efficient way to flip a bit of information in a computer. That investigation — part of a larger effort to understand the thermodynamics of computation — revealed that there is no direct way to implement a map that both sends 1 to 0 and also sends 0 to 1. Rather, in order to flip a bit of information, the bit must proceed through at least one hidden state and involve at least three hidden time steps. Thermodynamics turns up in the weirdest places! -- Owen
