Are “reversible” computers more energy efficient, faster? (2004)

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...
