Same with the demon so where's the problem

Sarkeizen: re your post 2972.
"a) A theorem is different than a theory.  A theorem is a mathematical proof."
From Wikipedia " In mathematics, a theorem is a statement that has been proven on the basis of previously established statements, such as other theorems—and generally accepted statements, such as axioms."
So, your statement itself is incorrect

[sarkeizen]

requires no assumptions

What I actually wrote was that the BBBV requires no assumptions about the way things are stored.

Same with the demon so where's the problem

So Philips device requires that it uses quantum effects to work.  BBBV says it can't and do what you say it does.

Hence Philip's device can not work or you have to fess up and say that you're wrong about the device sorting instantaneously.

Well I suspect you're not exactly a sharp knife in the drawer.  People who says "oh that's wrong" but can't say why and can only vaguely point to something else never fill me with much hope for intelligent conversation.

So not to put too fine a point on it.  Why do you think that my statement is incorrect.

If I used the word 'sort' before then I was technicaly wrong,apologies,this is why I dislike mechanical representations of the demon.it REACTS instantaneously.reacts to energy demands.ok now?
