چکیده
Gibbsian statistical mechanics (GSM) is the most widely used version of among working physicists. Yet a closer look at GSM reveals that it unclear what theory actually says and how bears on experimental practice. The root cause difficulties status averaging principle, proposition we observe in an experiment ensemble average phase function. We review different stances toward this eventually present coherent interpretation provides account scope principle.

متن کاملSay what you please? Really?
Gennari and MacDonald (2009) presented evidence that reading times in comprehension are influenced by the likelihood of a speaker choosing a particular structure in production. It’s an important and interesting paper. From this they propose the PDC (Production Distribution Comprehension): choices made to ease planning in production give rise to distributional patterns in the input, which in tur...
متن کاملSTATISTICAL MECHANICS OF ENTROPY PRODUCTION: Gibbsian hypothesis and local fluctuations
It is argued that a Gibbsian formula for the space-time distribution of microscopic trajectories of a nonequilibrium system provides a unifying framework for recent results on the fluctuations of the entropy production. The variable entropy production is naturally expressed as the time-reversal symmetry breaking part of the space-time action functional. Its mean is always positive. This is both...
متن کاملWhat Can Spider Diagrams Say?
Spider diagrams are a visual notation for expressing logical statements. In this paper we identify a well known fragment of first order predicate logic, that we call ESD, equivalent in expressive power to the spider diagram language. The language ESD is monadic and includes equality but has no constants or function symbols. To show this equivalence, in one direction, for each diagram we constru...
