Counterfactual reasoning yields a unitary model of constructor-based irreversibility, an incoherent homogenizer, new limits on work extraction from coherence, and a von Neumann entropy measure of locally inaccessible information.

I present a simple variant of the Schr\"odinger cat meets Wigner's friend thought experiment. If you are shocked by it, you have not understood quantum physics (no words are missing from this sentence).

Counterfactuals in Macroscopic Quantum Physics: Irreversibility, Measurement and Locality
Counterfactual reasoning yields a unitary model of constructor-based irreversibility, an incoherent homogenizer, new limits on work extraction from coherence, and a von Neumann entropy measure of locally inaccessible information.
