5# INFO-004: Landauer Bound from τ₀
6
7**Target**: Derive the Landauer bound (minimum energy to erase a bit) from Recognition Science's τ₀.
8
9## Core Insight
10
11Landauer's principle (1961) states that erasing one bit of information costs at least:
12
13E_min = k_B T ln(2)
14
15This is the minimum energy dissipated as heat when erasing information.
16
17In RS, this emerges from the **τ₀ timescale and J-cost**:
18
191. **τ₀ sets the fundamental time**: The recognition timescale
202. **Erasing = recognizing then forgetting**: This has a J-cost
213. **Minimum cost**: E = k_B T ln(2) is the thermodynamic limit
224. **Connection**: τ₀ sets the rate at which this cost is paid
23
24## The Derivation
25
26To erase a bit:
27- Initial state: 0 or 1 (uncertain from observer's view)
28- Final state: 0 (known)
29- Information lost: 1 bit = ln(2) nats
30- Entropy increase: ΔS = k_B ln(2)
31- Heat dissipated: Q = T ΔS = k_B T ln(2)
