The Bitcoin system can be understood as a third-order computing system, where each order reflects a process of emergence from disorder to order, ultimately forming a trust based computing world.
First Stage: Human Social Computing
Input: Consensus of individual human values, culture, energy (electricity).
Process: human society converts energy into electricity, drives computer networks and forms the Internet through culture and cognition.
Output: The computer world provides infrastructure and energy for second-order computing.
Emergence: From individual consensus to collective consensus, forming a social, cultural, and value system.
Level 2: Internet distributed computing
Input: computer computing power, network connection, Bitcoin protocol.
Process: The miner nodes generate new blocks and nonce values through competitive computation (POW).
Output: blockchain, timestamp, nonce (as the energy and time source for third-order computation).
Emergence: From disorderly competition for computing power to orderly blockchain and timestamps, forming a trustworthy distributed ledger.
Third order: UTXO trust computation
Input: Nonce, UTXO (Unused Transaction Output).
Process: UTXO based transaction verification and settlement.
Output: A trust computing world based on nonce as the time reference and UTXO as the individual.
Emergence: From disorderly transactions to orderly value transfer, forming a decentralized and secure value network.
The connection between the three levels:
Human society provides the energy and value foundation for the Bitcoin system.
Internet distributed computing provides a secure and trusted environment for UTXO trust computing.
UTXO trust computation ultimately presents the value and functionality of Bitcoin.
Conclusion:
The third-order computing system of Bitcoin embodies the essence of computation: transforming disordered information and energy into ordered structures and values. The emergence of each level drives the system towards higher levels of complexity and intelligence, ultimately forming a trust based computing world, which heralds a new direction for the future development of the computing world.
