Before revision:  The reciprocity (self-invertibility) of a computation is a stricter condition for thermodynamic efficiency than logical reversibility (invertibility), the latter being the root of Landauer's work bound . In fact, the average energy required for reliable erasure is well above that bound. Explicit simulations of work production closely track the error-dissipation tradeoff , diverging from the Landauer bound as the error rate decreases.
After revision:  The reciprocity (self-invertibility) of a computation is a stricter condition for thermodynamic efficiency than logical reversibility (invertibility), the latter being the root of Landauer's work bound on erasing information. Beyond engineered computation, the results identify a generic error-dissipation tradeoff , diverging from the Landauer bound as the error rate decreases.
