In this talk John Norton argues against Landaur's Principle in the Thermodynamics of Computation. He does so by first arguing that demonstrations of Landaur's principle all fail. Then, he by identifying the reason why these demonstrations fail, he proposes and argues for the no-go result: The standard inventory of processes in the TD of computation neglect fluctuations. All processes must produce entropy to overcome these, and this entropy overwhelms that tracked by Landaur's Principle.
