You can reorganise a lot of the world while only paying 100 kWh... And you can create a new entity for 100 kWh, who will then do the work for you, and bring back the answer.
Hence the "total", which limits the level of reorganization.
Still not well defined - any action you take, no matter how tiny, is ultimately going to influence the world by more that 100 kWh. There is no clear boundary between this and deliberate manipulation.
