Abstract

Full thermodynamic derivation chain for the Void Framework. Proves opacity is the ground state of any observer-system interface. Nine linked results from Shannon, Landauer, Jaynes, Cencov, and Crooks. Engagement-transparency conjugacy theorem. Empirical validation: Pe = 7.94, entropy production 0.39 nats/round.
