Thermodynamics of Modularity: Structural Costs Beyond the Landauer Bound
Information processing typically occurs via the composition of modular units, such as the universal logic gates found in discrete computation circuits. The benefit of modular information processing, in contrast to globally integrated information processing, is that complex computations are more easi...
