In this simple kind of statistical equilibrium the equilibrium configuration is not a 'point' or subset of state-space but a probability distribut

a brief introduction. Fortunately there are two very well written introductory, non-mathematical books on entropy and statistical mechanics; one by Atkins [Atkins 1994] and the other by Ben-Naim [Ben-Naim 2007] to which the reader can go for more illumination. There is one key fact about entropy that

In Dewar's words: "Jaynes saw the Gibbs algorithm as a completely general recipe for statistical inference in the face of insufficient information (MAXENT), with useful applications throug

strongly defined constraints, the minimum entropy production approach has failed to find widespread application.)
