The Universe From The Inside Out
The Cell
Biological systems burn energy to maintain order. This high entropy production implies living matter experiences a slightly accelerated internal time compared to inert matter.
The Processor
A silicon chip heats up when processing. In ORTT, this heat (entropy) isn't just waste—it's the physical mechanism driving the chip's temporal progression.
The Black Hole
Near the event horizon, entropy is maximal but "stuck" on the surface. Interaction terms dominate, freezing time relative to the outside.
The Qubit
A quantum bit exists in a timeless superposition until it interacts (decoheres). Entropy generation is the collapse into time.
