in thermodynamics, a gradient (difference in energy) is just an *incentive* expressed in the language of the laws of physics. conversely, behavioral incentives are economic gradients: they encourage the expenditure of economic energy (capital).
bitcoin's perfectly aligned incentives create a permanent gradient, "pushing" - in a very physical sense - capital from a high energy state to a low energy state. an economic perpetual motion machine. free energy.
