Thanks! In my head, I was using the model of “flip 100 coins, exact value of all coins is micro states, heads-tails count is macro state”. In that model, the macro states form disjoint sets, so it’s probably not a good example.
I think I get your point in abstract, but I’m struggling to form an example model that fits it. Any suggestions?
Apologies for this being late; I also struggled to come up with an example model. Checking the references, he talks about A more thoroughly in the paper where the idea was originally presented.
I strongly recommend taking a look at page 5 of the PDF, which is where he starts a two page section clarifying the meaning of entropy in this context. I think this will help a lot...once I figure it out.
