Evolutionary pathway that fundamentally transforms our understanding of energy. Instead of traditional energy storage in chemical bonds or material structures, this framework offers an entirely new perspective: energy is not a static quantity stored in matter, but a controlled configuration of state space—a dynamic, programmable process of converting ambient thermal and quantum energy into an ordered, useful form. The system does not function as a generator of energy “from nothing,” but as a highly sophisticated, information-driven thermal converter that selectively captures and directs already existing fluctuations from the surrounding environment.
Chodounský et al. (Tue,) studied this question.
