Deriving the second law of thermodynamics and exploring its boundaries
This paper derives the second law of thermodynamics for chaotic systems by linking entropy increase to the monotonic relationship between macrostate probability and the number of microstates, while demonstrating that this law breaks down and entropy can spontaneously decrease in locally nonchaotic systems where this correlation fails.
