Landauer demonstrated that erasing a bit releases heat. If information is fiction, implies that energy is fiction too?
If everything is information, then nothing is.
A disordered system still has state. You just don't know what it is.
Landauer showed that information processing is physical (heat). I’m just extending that logic: if the universe has to process too much state data in one spot, the cost isn't just heat—it's lag (Time Dilation).
It doesn't matter if we observe the mess; the system still has to render it.
