E = mc²
expressed as Bitcoin
Bitcoin gives a simple analogy.
A Bitcoin balance is not the whole history behind it. It is the present compressed receipt of many earlier accepted transactions.
In FRC terms, matter can be viewed similarly;-
transaction history → validation → Capture → retained UTXO → later spend
becomes;-
structural history → resistance → Capture → retained matter → later change
So;-
m = retained structural state
E = its change-equivalence
c = Reality’s finite handover limit
The simple picture is;-
Bitcoin carries accepted value forward as a finite ledger state.
Matter carries accepted Reality forward as a finite structural state.
Both are small present receipts for a much larger history.
Reality first.
Ledger second.
Balance third.
The balance is not the history.
Just as the equation is not the Reality.
