mjanx123··on Is gravity just entropy rising? Long-shot idea gets another look
The photons do not have entropy.

The photons from Sun are hot, the space around Sun is cold, the system has a low entropy.

If the space around Sun was as hot as the photons, the entropy would be high.

Entropy is the opposite of potential

You flipped the static and shared.

Shared objects are compiled in a way that the exact same code works when loaded at any address, which typically requires base+offset addressing and is less performant, but the same physical pages holding the object can be mapped into different processes at different addresses, ie shared.

Static object addresses the code and and data directly and does not waste a register and requires the addresses in its code to be modified depending on where it is loaded, and the code cannot be shared between different processes.

You can't convert a static library to shared because you can't.

You can convert a shared library to static but there is no point.

What you do is still a matching decompilation. The inserted step of delinking does not change that.

It does have the potential to simplify and improve the decompilation over directly decompiling a linked binary, as it more naturally reverses the process.
