Applied Scenario

Apply the idea in context while keeping the assumptions, units, safety and affected people visible.

This extension applies that lens specifically to Statistical Mechanics.

Statistical Mechanics

Macroscopic thermodynamics emerges from ensembles of microscopic states. Entropy measures the logarithmic multiplicity compatible with constraints.

Core checkpoint: Specify the ensemble and conserved quantities before calculating averages.
