The Thermodynamic Controllability Calculator determines whether the information-energy processing required to control a thermal system is physically achievable within its energy budget. Input an operating temperature, power output, and confinement geometry; the tool computes the minimum energy cost of control derived from Landauer's principle and returns 𝓜 — the ratio of required control power to system output. When 𝓜 ≥ 1, the system requires more energy to control than it produces. Applicable to fusion, fission, quantum, and experimental thermal systems, the calculator provides a first-principles go/no-go assessment grounded in published physical constants and reproducible mathematics.
