So a prediction exists, with some evidence towards it, that it's possible to do computation that doesn't consume negentropy?

Well, I'll grant you one thing: not quite sure what it is you're computing, but assuming your plan works, that was a surprisingly short path to conserving the universe's resources until your computational substrate suffers proton decay.

I still have only hunches of what computation has to do with actual lives. Please, explain your Evil Plan out loud.
