This paper aims to establish a clear distinction between Physics-Based and Physics-Related applications of the CKS framework.
Developed formal categorical boundaries within the CKS framework.
Analyzed the mathematical structures shared by both domains.
Explored implications of substrate hardware versus information software.
Defined two distinct categories: Physics-Based operates on actual physical laws, while Physics-Related concerns human-designed systems.
Demonstrated that both domains utilize the same mathematical apparatus but in fundamentally different contexts.
Highlighted that treating these categories incorrectly can lead to catastrophic misunderstandings.
