This is a placeholder essay.
I’ll eventually write about how treating energy data as a first-class signal changes the way we see machines, processes, and waste.
For now, consider this a stub for longer-form thinking on:

- how to combine physics intuition with ML,
- and how these ideas show up in real deployments.
