En07-C@1#def:thermal-package
A thermodynamic cost claim must specify at least:
the physical memory and its initial state or input ensemble;
all relevant Hamiltonians and interaction/switching conventions;
reservoirs, their initial states and temperatures;
work storage, controllers, and usable side information;
the complete dynamics and final correlations;
definitions of heat and work, and conditions for returning reusable resources.
A channel on selected visible factors is not this package.
