Abstract
What we shape is what we see. When we try to
shape something without seeing it clearly, the
probability of achieving a happy result is low.
When we talk about "saving energy" what we usually
mean is "not wasting work". What we try to do when
we design a process, is to use work as effectively
as possible. It's hard to do that if we can't see
it clearly. This paper illustrates how work can be
seen (calculated) without imposing entropy as a
screen in front of it.
