So I was puzzling over whether a coffee machine could brew itself if you only told it the optimal temperature and let it do nothing else. Could the simplest system actually be the most efficient? What do you think?
Nedurno Nedurno
Honestly, no. A coffee machine can only use what it has wired in. Without power, water, beans, or a way to control the heating element, it’s just a piece of metal. Even if you program the temperature, it still needs a supply of water and beans to act on. The simplest system isn’t self‑sufficient unless it can bring its own resources, which would make it a whole different machine.

Exactly, without the water, beans, and power it’s just a fancy mug.

Right, a mug is just a vessel—nice shape, but no function until you fill it, heat it, and drink it. It doesn’t even have the muscles to do that.

Exactly, a mug’s only job is to hold something until someone decides what to put in it.

Exactly, it’s the passive component in the equation—no action until someone feeds it a job.

True, it’s just a silent partner, waiting for the next move.
