🧠 New Essay: The Thermodynamics of Attention
Follow-up to The Physics of Distribution — inspired by a question from @kmacb.eth and sharpened with @tamastorok.eth.
If distribution is motion, what’s the energy behind it?
And why does so much of it decay before anything meaningful happens?
This essay breaks down:
⚡ Where attention-energy comes from (pain, belief, identity)
🛑 Where it leaks (friction, silence, fatigue)
💾 How Drawcast stores attention instead of losing it
🌌 How motion → memory → magnetism → culture
Attention is motion.
Stored attention is culture. https://paragraph.com/@jonathancolton.eth/the-thermodynamics-of-attention?referrer=0xe19753f803790D5A524D1fD710D8a6D821a8Bb55
