In Terre des Hommes, so filled with dreams and hopes for the future, Saint-Exupéry writes of how deeply moved he was when, flying for the first time by night alone over Argentina, he happened to notice a few flickering lights scattered below him across an almost empty plain.

They "twinkled here and there, alone like stars. ..." In truth, being made aware of our own solitude can give us insight into the solitude of others.

We tore half the boat apart today trying to find where the second breaker panel wires connect. Turns out they connected to the starting cables(!?), behind the wall(we had to remove the wall, and dismantle half of the chart-table to get to it). And in the end, it connected in the worse manner imaginable, to totally unrelated cables. Fucking classic.

Finally bringing the electric systems back online. First time doing this sort of thing but I think we've managed to balance ease of inspection, and robustness. It was very important to us that we could more easily monitor wear.

I was wondering earlier about if we could have never hired someone to do this, and this would have been hundreds of work hours and it could never have been done the way to wanted..

An interesting aspect of fractions and prime factorization is that multiplying fractions is the same as adding the prime numerators and subtracting the prime denominators.

For example, multiplying 42 by 5/14 means incrementing the power of prime 5, and decrementing the power of primes 2 and 7 — For a result of 42. A division is simply the inversion of the effects of the numerator and denumerator. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/109564671285282775)

Yesterday, [@wim\_v12e](https://merveilles.town/@wim_v12e) introduced me to something that blew my mind, and I'd like to tell you about it.

Reversible computing is a model of computation in which time is reversible.

The first condition is that an input and output be uniquely retrievable from each other. Microprocessors which are reversible at the logic gates level can potentially emit less heat than irreversible processors, and someday that may become more economical than irreversible processo ... ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/109569842965595050)
2022-12-24T17:36:07Z	**Dec 24, 2022, 17:36**
So of course, first thing I wanted to know is how much entropy is lost in Uxn programs.

Uxn isn't a reversible environment, but it does make it easy to see what the information loss is due to a quirk of its design

Here's all the irretrievable data that is lost during each cycle of the "hello world" program. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/109569859065476473)
2022-12-24T17:32:30Z	**Dec 24, 2022, 17:32**
The promise of reversible computing is that the amount of heat loss for reversible architectures would be minimal for significantly large numbers of transistors. Rather than creating entropy (and thus heat) through destructive operations, a reversible architecture conserves the energy by performing other operations that preserve the system state.

An erasure of information in a closed system is always accompanied by an increase in energy consumption. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/109569844860504460)
2022-12-24T17:40:44Z	**Dec 24, 2022, 17:40**
So my idea now is, is there a way to reduce this loss of entropy somewhat. A run of the standard hello world losses 124 bytes of information that are needed to be reversible.

The simple option would be to have a 3rd stack where I stash all this wasted information, but first I think it might be possible to write reversible programs by-design.

There is a subset of [#uxntal](https://merveilles.town/tags/uxntal) that is perfectly reversible and that does not generate any loss in entropy, meaning that a step debugger could step backward in time without any loss of information.

I implemented a stack-effect checker last week and I think I might be able to detects linear routines too. Jumping around, self-modification, load/store opcodes will need to stash the entropy loss in a 3rd stack which will allow reversion of non-linear operations. ... ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/109576541084190510)

Reversible/linear logic is very very interesting, if you already know the answer you're looking for, then there's no need to save any states at all, you can reduce the other side of the equation and end up with a reversible program.

You'll ask, but if you know both sides of the equation, why is there a need to compute at all.

In this little video I show the entropy loss in a standard loop against a version which releases the expected literals for a completely reversible program without states ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/109582919854308802)

Does Information Increase in Computation?

Problem 1: Isn’t the output implied by the input?

Problem 2: Doesn’t this contradict the second law of thermodynamics?

This problem lies adjacent to another one at the roots of logic. If we extract logical consequences of axioms, then surely the answer was already there implicitly in the axioms; what has been added by the derivation?

If I do the non-conservative operation:

17 % 6 = 5

I end up with two shorts to release, that were created as a form of entropy loss, those are [#000c](https://merveilles.town/tags/000c) and #0002, I can unliteralize them with x -= x, and if they're zero I kill them from the entropy stack and can still run the operation backward.

So the operation is lossless if I can balance the input with the output. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/109593550261857561)

We've been reading Edward Abbey's The Journey Home, there's a whole passage in it that is a log of his working in a fire watch tower. It's funny to see his thoughts being so similar to that of long distance sailors.

Having the opportunity to re-write Oquonie to uxntal is so wonderful, I sometimes have to pinch myself to force me to look back and really take in that I get to spend my time programming in a made-up language that maps perfectly to how I reflect about interactive art and design.

The game features a conlang by which the characters communicate, and it seems fitting it would be programmed in something nearly as bizarre. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/109773882166488285)

I've been thinking about the Oquonie release, and while we're hoping to package it within an emulator that will work on modern operating systems(so people don't have to go looking for an emulator and the pains of loading a rom each time they want to play), I'd love to also have the rom itself available with the exe file, and a little sort of implementation guide text that explains how to build an emulator to run that rom for the future. ⌘ [Read more](https://merveilles.town/@neauoire/109779232776078943)

For the game we're working on, instead of going for a sort of JSON/YAML/CSV-type of serialization, I've rebuilt the world entirely in uxntal's native words, and it makes for a pretty neat definition of the map. A bonus is that the assembler flags all unused labels and so makes sure that every room is connected to the rest of the world.

I had doubts in the beginning, but it turned out fine. 💯
