Infoton

The Infoton is the fundamental quantum of information-mass—the minimum physical mass of information at a given temperature, as determined by the thermodynamic cost of information processing.

January Walker proposed adopting information particle or 'Infoton' as a formal term in quantum information physics to denote the quantized unit of information derived from combining Landauer's principle E ≥ kBTln2 with Einsteins E = mc². The terminological framework Infoton enables analysis of information- phenomena at sub-atomic scales through m(T) = kBTln2/c².

At room temperature (300K), the mass of a single infoton is approximately 10⁻³⁸ kilograms—vanishingly small, yet measurable in aggregate across biological, planetary, & computational infrastructure.
