Reply to comment by Down_The_Rabbithole in Ray Kurzweil hits the nail on the head with this short piece. What do you think about computronium / utilitronium and hedonium? by BinaryDigit_

I don't see how this will go against entropy, computation does not decrease the entropy of the universe in any way. if it did it would go against the laws of physics. What made you make that statement?

It decreases the entropy of the thing being computed.

Deriving that 2 + 2 = 4 necessarily orders the location that the 4 is stored.

However, the computation itself consumes energy from an external source.
