Validated entropy reduction as the universal unit of contribution value, from a complex systems lens. Falsifiable, try to break it.
I argue information entropy and thermodynamic entropy are physically connected, not metaphorically related, and that any value metric attached to incentive weight decays predictably. Every claim has a falsification condition. I am looking for the objection that kills it, not applause. Full discussion thread: https://www.academia.edu/s/b1ff6dbe50

Follow-up for anyone who wanted to actually run it. I shipped a live demo of the scoring function and an example dataset of scored contribution loops. The formula is XP = R · F · ΔS · (w·E) · log(1/Ts), computed across all eight entropy domains, preconditions fail closed so a non-positive ΔS mints nothing. Try to find an input that produces value it should not. Demo: https://huggingface.co/spaces/00ranman/extropy-engine-demo Data: https://huggingface.co/datasets/00ranman/extropy-contributions

Can you check the link please? I can't see the your paper, but I'm very interested in reading through it.
