Action as Entropy
1  CCC Information Services

Abstract:

I explore the entropy of a diffusing particle.  Further examination of the mutual information of the particle and the vacuum, yields a derivation of the “action” of the particle being equal to the entropy.  I argue the second law of thermodynamics is the justification for the principle of least action.

Keywords: Entropy; action; quantum of action; discrete space; discrete time; diffusion
