Still working on grokking Schwartz. He hit upon a good point on page 163.
When sugar dissolves in water, it disappears, but is still present. There is a new system that involves sugar-water info-energy. We can apply energy to the system in a form that causes the water to be "pushed out", in this case in the form of radiant infrared heat energy. This procedure causes the water energy to redistribute itself outside of the container and away from the sugar energy. The sugar remains, in its original form, but slightly changed by its experience being entangled with water.
Water seems to be a substance that works well with our current level of energy manipulation, so an experiment like the one above is easy to do and even easier to understand. As a metaphor, however, it seems to suggest that nothing ever dissolves completely. Upon death, for example, our systems extend into the void indefinitely. It's Schwartz's position that we merely need to apply the correct energy to the void and the confounding energies that prevent us from perceiving the energy from dead humans will redistribute "outside of the container" and we could see dead human energy. Sure, it would be changed during its interaction with the void, but it would still be unequivocally the same energy, just like the same sugar crystals result from redistributing the water.
