I need to study entropy more, but this statement trips me up: "Boltzmann’s constant becomes useful here because it bridges entropy (a count of states) with energy (joules). If we take the Genesis peg as the founding entropy-to-structure mapping, we get a scalar field of joules per satoshi that changes every block as supply grows and issuance decays and difficulty adjusts. That ratio defines the thermodynamic cost of resolution at each time step,"

Mapping joules directly to hashes is undefinable because there is no causal way to know how much energy is being used by the entire network, or the efficiency of the total network (J/T of machines in aggregate).

That's where I'm running into problems, between a directly causal relationship between energy and network function does not exist (while the search space is defined, we cannot know how much energy is required to collapse it on a golden nonce).
