ity that a randomly selected gas particle will have a certain energy is constant over time (in this case, the probability distribution is Boltzmann- Gibbs). In this simple kind of statistical equilibrium the equilibrium configuration is not a 'point' or subset of state-space but a probability distribut

rapidly diminishing explanatory returns from increasingly explicit microfoundations. [Wright 2009] And a shorter one from Von Neumann, reported by Claude Shannon: "My greatest concern was what to call it. I thought of calling it 'information', but the word was overly used, so I decided to call it 'uncertaint

He also shoehorns in a weak and unconvincing model of information as message-passing between and among both physical and biological entit
