Researchers have developed a thermodynamic theory for algorithmic catalysis, building upon the watts per intelligence framework. This theory identifies reusable computational structures that minimize irreversible operations for specific task classes. The work proves that speed-ups are limited by algorithmic mutual information and that encoding this information has a thermodynamic cost, establishing a coupling theorem that bounds the energetic favorability of algorithmic catalysts.
