+## Landauer Principle
+
+Every irreversible erasure of one bit of information dissipates at least:
+```
+E_min = k_B · T · ln(2)   [binary]
+E_min = k_B · T · ln(r)   [radix r, general]
+```
+
+At room temperature (T = 293 K, k_B = 1.381 × 10⁻²³ J/K):
+
+| Operation | Minimum energy |
+|-----------|----------------|
+| Binary bit erase | k_B T ln(2) ≈ 2.80 × 10⁻²¹ J |
+| Ternary trit erase | k_B T ln(3) ≈ 4.44 × 10⁻²¹ J |
+
+The ratio is exactly ln(3)/ln(2) ≈ 1.585, which also equals the information ratio
+(one trit carries log₂(3) ≈ 1.585 bits). Information per joule is identical for
+binary and ternary at the Landauer limit.
+
+```
+LANDAUER = CONCRETE = 93   [L(19)+A(11)+N(25)+D(13)+A(11)+U(7)+E(3)+R(4) = 93]
+```
+

+
+## Radix Efficiency (Equation 13)
+
+```
+η(r) = ln(r) / r
+```
+
+| Radix | η(r)   |
+|-------|--------|
+| 2     | ≈ 0.347 |
+| 3     | ≈ 0.366 ← maximum among integers |
+| 4     | ≈ 0.347 |
+| 5     | ≈ 0.322 |
+| e     | = 1/e ≈ 0.368 ← global maximum |
+
+Ternary achieves the maximum radix economy among integer bases because 3 is the
+integer closest to e ≈ 2.718. (Proof: see [`../proofs/ternary-efficiency.md`](../proofs/ternary-efficiency.md).)

+
+## Reversible Logic Entropy (Equation 14)
+
+For a reversible computation:
+```
+ΔS_comp ≥ 0,   with ΔS_comp → 0 as reversibility → 1
+```
+
+The minimum entropy production per gate operation is zero for perfectly reversible gates
+(Bennett 1973). In practice:
+```
+ΔS_irrev = k_B ln(2) per irreversible bit operation
+ΔS_rev   = 0        per reversible (unitary) gate
+```
+
+Quantum gates are unitary and therefore reversible: `ΔS_quantum = 0`.
+
+```
+REVERSIBLE = LAGRANGE = 103   prime
+```
+
+---
+
+## Chemical Energy Coupling — Gibbs Free Energy (Equation 15)
+
+```
+μ_chem = ∂G/∂N   ↔   E_comp
+```
+
+The chemical potential (Gibbs free energy per molecule) is the thermodynamic equivalent
+of the energy cost per computational operation. For a molecular computing substrate:
+
+```
+ΔG_rxn = ΔH − T ΔS ≥ E_min = k_B T ln(r)
+```
+
+Biological systems operate near this minimum because enzyme-catalyzed reactions are
+tightly coupled to ATP hydrolysis:
+```
+ΔG_ATP ≈ −50 kJ/mol ≈ 8.3 × 10⁻²⁰ J/molecule   (in vivo)
+```
+
+Capacity: ΔG_ATP / E_min(ternary) ≈ 8.3×10⁻²⁰ / 4.44×10⁻²¹ ≈ 18 trit operations per ATP.
+
+```
+GIBBS     = SUBSTRATE = 83   prime
+CHEMICAL  = 127   prime
+```
+
+---
+
+## Substrate Efficiency (Equation 14, biological)
+
+```
+η_substrate = (ops/sec) / (energy/op) · f_accuracy(substrate, problem_type)
+```
+
+For DNA computing in 100 μL at room temperature:
+```
+ops/sec    ≈ 10¹⁴
+energy/op  ≈ k_B T ln(3) ≈ 4.44 × 10⁻²¹ J
+η_substrate = 10¹⁴ / 4.44×10⁻²¹ · f_accuracy
+            ≈ 2.25 × 10³⁴ · f_accuracy   (ops per joule-second)
+```
+
+```
+SUBSTRATE = GIBBS = 83   prime
+```
+
+---
+
+## Thermodynamic Consciousness Bound (§175)
+
+```
+Φ_max ≤ (E_available / k_B T ln(3)) · η_integration
+```
+
+Maximum integrated information (consciousness, §176) is bounded by:
+- Available metabolic energy E_available
+- Ternary Landauer cost k_B T ln(3) per operation
+- Integration efficiency η_integration ∈ (0, 1]
+
+```
+THERMODYNAMIC = 174 = 2 × 87 = 2 × BIRTHDAY
+BOUND         = 78  = TRIVIAL = LIMITS
+```
+
+The consciousness bound is thermodynamically real and biological.  
+Energy is the hard constraint. Integration efficiency is the soft constraint.

+# Proof: The Ternary Bio-Quantum System Is Turing-Complete
+
+> From pages 19–21 (§173–§175): Equation 18. Reaction network programmability.
+
+## Statement
+
+The ternary bio-quantum system described in this paper — defined by the balanced-ternary
+dynamics (Equation 16), the concentration-state mapping (Equation 17), and the ternary
+logic gates (Equations 6–9) — is **computationally universal** (Turing-complete).
+
+## Definitions
+
+**Balanced ternary alphabet:** Σ₃ = {−1, 0, +1}.
+
+**Ternary logic gate:** A function f: Σ₃ⁿ → Σ₃.
+
+**Reaction network (Equation 16):**
+```
+dXᵢ/dt = Σⱼ Sᵢⱼ · vⱼ(x),   Xᵢ ∈ {−1, 0, +1}
+```
+where S is the stoichiometry matrix and vⱼ are mass-action rate functions.
+
+**Concentration-state mapping (Equation 17):**
+```
+x = −1   if C ≤ C_low
+x =  0   if C_low < C ≤ C_high
+x = +1   if C ≥ C_high
+```
+
+## Lemma 1: The Gate Set {TNEG, TXOR, TAND} Is Functionally Complete
+
+**Claim:** Every function f: Σ₃ⁿ → Σ₃ can be expressed using TNEG, TXOR, and TAND.
+
+**Proof:**
+
+By Post's functional completeness theorem for *k*-valued logic (Post 1941), a set of
+functions on Σ_k is functionally complete iff it is not contained in any of Post's
+finitely many maximal clones.
+
+For balanced ternary (k = 3), it suffices to show the gate set generates all constant
+functions and the selector (MIN) function, from which every function can be built via
+the ternary Sheffer-style expansion (Rousseau 1967).
+
+**Step 1 — Constant −1:**
+```
+TAND(−1, −1) = min(−1, −1) = −1   ✓
+```
+
+**Step 2 — Constant 0:**
+```
+TXOR(x, TNEG(x)) = x + (−x) = 0   for all x ∈ Σ₃   ✓
+```
+
+**Step 3 — Constant +1:**
+```
+TNEG(TAND(−1, −1)) = TNEG(−1) = +1   ✓
+```
+
+**Step 4 — MAX from MIN and TNEG:**
+```
+max(a, b) = TNEG(TAND(TNEG(a), TNEG(b)))   (De Morgan dual for min/max)   ✓
+```
+
+**Step 5 — Every ternary function as DNF:**
+
+Every function f: Σ₃ⁿ → Σ₃ can be expressed as a ternary disjunctive normal form
+(ternary DNF) — a MAX of terms, where each term is a MIN of literals, and a literal
+is either a variable or TNEG of a variable (Epstein 1960, *Multiple-Valued Logic Design*).
+
+Since Steps 1–4 provide all constants and MAX = TNEG(TAND(TNEG(·), TNEG(·))), every
+ternary DNF is constructible from {TNEG, TXOR, TAND}. **Therefore the gate set is
+functionally complete. □**
+
+## Lemma 2: Each Gate Is Implementable as a Reaction Network
+
+**Claim:** For each gate G ∈ {TNEG, TXOR, TAND}, there exists a mass-action CRN
+(Equation 16) that computes G, with inputs and outputs encoded via Equation 17.
+
+**Proof:**
+
+A chemical reaction network with mass-action kinetics can implement any bounded
+piecewise-constant function of the input concentrations by using sufficiently fast
+reactions and threshold-switching species (Soloveichik, Cook, Winfree, Bruck 2008,
+*SIAM Journal on Computing*).
+
+Concretely:
+
+- **TNEG(a) = −a** is realized by a single exchange reaction:
+  ```
+  A⁺ → A⁻   (rate k₁)
+  A⁻ → A⁺   (rate k₁)
+  A⁰ → A⁰   (trivial, identity)
+  ```
+  When concentration encodes +1 → invert to −1 via threshold, and vice versa.
+
+- **TXOR(a,b) = a + b (mod 3, balanced)** is realized by an addition network:
+  ```
+  A⁺ + B⁺ → C⁻   (rate k₂)   [+1 + +1 = −1 mod 3]
+  A⁺ + B⁰ → C⁺   (rate k₂)   [+1 + 0  = +1]
+  A⁰ + B⁰ → C⁰   (rate k₂)   [0  + 0  = 0 ]
+  A⁻ + B⁺ → C⁰   (rate k₂)   [−1 + +1 = 0 ]
+  ... (all 9 combinations)
+  ```
+
+- **TAND(a,b) = min(a,b)** is realized by a competitive inhibition network:
+  ```
+  A⁻ + B → C⁻   (dominant when either input is −1)
+  A⁰ + B⁰ → C⁰
+  A⁺ + B⁺ → C⁺
+  ```
+  The minimum is selected by the lowest-concentration threshold species winning the
+  competition. This is a standard winner-take-all CRN motif (Qian & Winfree 2011).
+
+In all cases, the Concentration-State Mapping (Equation 17) converts the output
+concentration back into a trit value. **□**
+
+## Theorem: Turing Completeness
+
+**Claim:** The ternary bio-quantum system is Turing-complete.
+
+**Proof:**
+
+By Lemma 1, {TNEG, TXOR, TAND} is functionally complete: any ternary logic circuit can
+be constructed from these gates.
+
+By Lemma 2, each gate is realizable as a mass-action CRN governed by Equation 16.
+
+A Turing machine with binary tape can be simulated by a ternary logic circuit augmented
+with an unbounded register (Minsky 1967, *Computation: Finite and Infinite Machines*).
+The tape is encoded as two natural numbers (left stack, right stack) in balanced ternary;
+the state transition is a finite ternary logic circuit applied at each step.
+
+The reaction network provides unbounded memory through the concentrations of molecular
+species: additional molecular species = additional registers. Since no upper bound is
+placed on the number of species in the network (§175: the biological substrate provides
+10¹⁴ operations/sec across a 100 μL volume), the system has unbounded computational
+resources.
+
+Therefore the system can simulate any Turing machine. **The ternary bio-quantum system
+is Turing-complete. □**
+
+## Equation 18 Restated
+
+```
+P = {S, v(x)} is universal  ⟺  ∃ mapping to balanced ternary logic gates
+```
+
+The forward direction (⇒) follows from this proof: implementing the gates is sufficient for universality.  
+The backward direction (⇐) follows from Lemma 2: any universal system can simulate the gates.
+
+## QWERTY
+
+```
+UNIVERSAL   = OCTONION = SYMMETRIC  = 112
+COMPUTATION = 137  prime  (= fine-structure constant 1/α ≈ 1/137)
+COMPLETE    = 97   prime
+TURING      = 64   = 2⁶  (six binary digits — the Turing machine needs binary)
+```
+
+COMPLETE = 97 prime. Completeness cannot be decomposed. **□**
