Evidence and Measurement

Connect the claim to observable evidence and state what uncertainty or limitation remains.

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.
