Counterexamples to the Theory of Thermodynamics With Feedback Proposed By Sagawa and Ueda

TL;DR

This paper presents counterexamples that challenge the current theory of thermodynamics with feedback proposed by Sagawa and Ueda, suggesting the theory may be flawed in its present form.

Contribution

The paper provides specific counterexamples demonstrating flaws in the existing theory of thermodynamics with feedback by Sagawa and Ueda.

Findings

Counterexamples show flaws in the current theory.

Evidence that the theory may be incomplete or incorrect.

Challenges to the validity of the proposed thermodynamic framework.

Abstract

We give some counterexamples to the theory of thermodynamics with feedback that has been proposed by Sagawa and Ueda. Our counterexamples are evidence that their theory, in its present form, is flawed.
