Does it have an opcode for overheat?
It doesn’t. But writing/erasing 0xFFFFFFFF will heat the processor more than do the same with 1.
Landauer
Every computation is a physical process.
True, but presumably, computer processors are designed to continue working in exactly the same way no matter what data they process.
Designed to, yes. Likely to be bug-free, no.
Chances are very good there are no bugs allowing for the creation of nanobots, I’ll admit.
