The Thermodynamics of Logic: An Axiomatic Foundation for Physical Logical Mechanics
Abstract
This paper presents a paradigm shift in logical theory by grounding deduction in the laws of physics. We bypass traditional semantic discourse to provide the raw physical costs of deduction: Time (T), Energy (E), and Entropy (S). Our framework redefines truth not as a Platonic constant, but as a dynamic function —a physical manifestation of computational depth and resource expenditure. If you persist in the illusion that logic exists independent of the Second Law of Thermodynamics,the ongoing collapse of scientific reproducibility will remain the unavoidable consequence of ignoring these thermodynamic constraints.Copyright (c) [2026] [xuezhi cheng].
