As I observe to Vladimir_M, the “speed of light” thing was a mistake. I just wanted to make sure no-one ever observed any output from the computer under any circumstances.
No, I still think it’s interesting. Define time as a function of entropy (eg., “one second” means the time over which entropy increases by a constant amount). Time is stopped in the piece of paper’s reference frame, because the paper is static, and therefore has no entropy change, and therefore no passage of time.

You could always just hide it in the forest near the oft-considered fallen tree.
