Unless you’re computing the work of each block then Bitcoin selects orphaned blocks by the longest chain of time, not the longest chain of work. We should not assume the longest chain of time is the longest chain of work. Once you integrate the second law into Bitcoin, the contents of the blocks are more important than block height of you are specifically talking in the domain of work.
My brain is melting thinking about Bitcoin’s key space. A quantized and bounded unit of space instantiated over every block height. Satoshi created the space by using Secp256k1. The vast majority of this space will never see a single utxo or bit of value. A single dimension is actually a volume in regards to bitcoins thermodynamics as memory-time-value is placed in this bounded key space, sequentially in the timechain.
