24. Geo-Coded Bemes  Local Entropy & Preserve Order

25. Are Mindfiles IT or Thermodynamically Alive? Can’t Be Quantum If Sufficiently Detailed IT Replicable Not Growing When Static Order Grows With Uploads Continuous Increase Not Localized Enough Digital Storage Media Localized Region Mindfiles Are NOT Alive Mindfiles ARE Alive Factor
