Another book lover indeed! And thank you likewise :)

As it happens, I have a physics degree, and worked in computational physics for a number of years - so energy is familiar territory, as are the evolution of the ideas of de Broglie, Planck and so on. Einstein was notoriously uncomfortable with his discoveries in quantum mechanics. You may have read Bohm already? A book you might enjoy is A.C. Grayling's The History of Philosophy, it gets into the details of the philosophy of the soul. My meditation heritage is broadly Buddhist, and I try on the ideas of anatta for size.

That's an interesting idea about codebases and energy/work. I imagine in principal there is a way to perform such a calculation. In practice, we are notoriously poor at estimating, which perhaps reflects a disorder in consciousness :)
