::::::Yes, such excitation and de-excitation brings in a topic from which I am topic banned. I might write more about it were I not banned. It does indeed make the business stochastic, and probabilistic. This blows away some of my above reasoning. Cercignani mentions some curious closely relevant facts without explaining them. A quietly historically recognised example is the case of the inverse fifth power particle force law. It was early recognised, I think by Maxwell, as exactly solvable, and does not show the expected spreading. For this reason, it is not widely celebrated; indeed it is often not mentioned. Now for the first time I understand it; I don't recall reading this explanation. Avoiding [[WP:OR]], I guess someone will fill me in on it. It may deserve specific explicit appearance in the article. But it does not detract from the main concern here, about physical entropy being a property of a trajectory, not of an instantaneous microstate.[[User:Chjoaygame|Chjoaygame]] ([[User talk:Chjoaygame|talk]]) 21:48, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
It seems to me that none of this material by [[User:Chjoaygame|Chjoaygame]] is relevant for this article, which is an "Introduction to .." article. Some of it may be relevant to [[Entropy]], but I am not even clear about that. This article should be understood by someone who has just been introduced to the topic of entropy. [[User:Chjoaygame|Chjoaygame]], please stop wasting our time reading through your long edits to see if anything is relevant to this article. --[[User:Bduke|Bduke]] ([[User talk:Bduke|talk]]) 22:27, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
