Chapter 5 Summary

Chapter 5 (Bit 5): Entropy and Information Decay

This chapter documents the "Mortal Vector" of the CSDM, proving that information is a finite resource subject to the relentless pressure of the Second Law.

Sequential Logic

• PAGE 033: The Second Law - The inevitable increase of noise.
• PAGE 034: Node Exhaustion - Physical wear on the lattice.
• PAGE 035: The Noise Floor ($\eta_{floor}$) - The irreducible basement.
• PAGE 036: Information Evaporation ($\zeta_{evap}$) - Data leakage.
• PAGE 037: The Ghost in the Lattice - Residual historical bias.
• PAGE 038: Signal Decoupling ($\chi$) - The loss of origin and identity.
• PAGE 039: The Entropy Sink ($\Omega_s$) - Gravitational data graveyards.
• PAGE 040: Heat Death - Terminal equilibrium and the end of time.
