⚙️ The Thermodynamics of Attention
Follow-up to The Physics of Distribution — sparked by a question from @kmacb.eth and sharpened through conversations with @tamastorok.eth.
If distribution is motion, what’s the energy — and why does it decay?
This essay explores attention as fuel:
how it’s generated (pain, belief),
how it leaks (friction, silence),
and how mini-apps like Drawcast store it instead of losing it.
Attention is motion.
Stored attention is culture.
