I'd like to add that I don't think that evolution in a closed system
actually supplies a "meta element". I'm just pointing out that
Toffoli's paper is an example of recognizing that there needs to be a
"meta element".
In fact, "closed system" and "meta element" seem to be contradictory.
And, back to the original question, "closed system" and "erasing
information" seem to be contradictory.
