Thinking a lot about ratchets lately. Internal and external. Ratchets are more fundamental than clocks. Things that can only grow in one direction, and reversed only via destruction.

Umm. Not quite. Flywheels are not feedback mechanisms, and neither are ratchets. Flywheels are inertial loads. Integrators that can be wound/unwound if you like systems theory. Ratchets are feedback-driven state constraints. Amazon basically thinks with this lingo.

In a past life I was a professional systems theorist so I get fussy about these technical distinctions :)
