Yeah information <=> energy. Change of state is equivalent mathematically to movement in a "dimension." Action in physics is energy times time. Really just a way to measure the total number of absolute changes that have occurred. All energy causes change, it is all linked to entropy and information, it is likely zero in total...

I like everything that you've said, but of particular interest is this:
Change of state is equivalent mathematically to movement in a "dimension."
I'd love to discover more information about that idea!
URLs and/or book recommendations about that topic would be most appreciated!

All the quantum numbers that define a particle can be looked at as values within a dimension. It's possible that some are redundant in the standard model, or not the greatest basis.
The simplest states that exist in the largest dimensions we know of are the position/spacetime states. String theory posits that these little tiny looped strings of matter, exist in dimensions that are on the verge of a planck length. They just loop around. If you went from where you are, to where I am, you'll have looped around those tiny string dimensions a crap ton of times.

Utterly fascinating!
Write a blog, please!
I'd read it...
